“I cannot begin to tell you how grateful our family has been for both [therapist and supervisor] and how much they’ve helped us. It’s like we have a whole new child that has blossomed and is becoming closer to mainstream than we thought possible. Your staff has given us encouragement, support and confidence throughout this process. We are so thankful you are here to provide the services we so desperately needed.”

- Karen and Aaron

“I just wanted to share with you that for our son Brandon, the weeks at Camp were the best part of his summer. He was happy, he was learning, and he was having fun. Every time I picked him up I asked ‘How was your day today?’ And every day he answered ‘the best!’ The day before Camp ended, he was kind of sad. I asked him what happened. He said he wanted to continue going to Camp and doesn’t want to start school. Thank you so much for making it possible for our son to attend Camp, and also for all therapists who helped him through it and made it an unforgettable experience.”

“I’ve been with many providers, but AST is the first one that helped my daughter achieve amazing progress in a short time. I consider it a big jump. AST is very organized and communicated very well with parents. Thank you so much for what you have done for my daughter.”

- Los Angeles region parent

“My family and I have been very fortunate to have AST in our lives. AST’s services have allowed [our son] to transition smoothly to middle school and deal with a new teacher and grade level. He is better able to manage his behavior and to recover from challenges more easily. Because of these services, he has made tremendous growth academically. We are aware of the challenges and obstacles a child with autism faces in everyday situations and we are pleased with the training AST has provided for [our son]. With AST, he will continue to meet the demands he faces in his academic and social worlds.”

“I have two autistic children and both have received services from AST. My children have had their share of service providers, but I believe AST has been the most influential. ABA services through AST were more productive per hour than their time in the classroom, OT and speech. AST strikes that important balance between trusted professionals and a caring support group. I can hardly imagine how much further behind we would be without AST. I feel fortunate to have had them in our lives.”

- Jennifer & Brian

“Our experience with AST has been outstanding. They have been extremely responsive to our son’s particular needs. The AST therapist and supervisor were able to totally win over the teacher in [our daughter’s] public school class who was very hesitant at first about working together as was required in his IEP. What ensued was a very positive and productive working relationship which resulted in her making substantial progress. We wholeheartedly recommend AST!!!”

- Lynda

“Eric would not be the child and student he is today if he had never been with AST. After about 2-3 months of therapy from AST, we started seeing dramatic results. In a year and a half, he went from a child who no one could be certain if he would ever talk, to a top student and a chatterbox with many friends. His entire family knows that this is almost all because of AST.”

- Anna

“We are so thankful for all that AST has done with our son, but we are even more grateful for the change we have experienced as a family.”

- Susan

“Before we began I was a very discouraged mother who had no idea how to handle the difficult behaviors of my two year-old son. It was a very frustrating and lonely time and by the end of most days I was in tears. I am ecstatic to say that now, through the help of AST, [my son] has made tremendous progress and is a much happier and more confident boy. They have honestly changed my life and the life of my family. But most important, [my son] now has a better chance at a successful and happy future.”

- Cami

“The guidance and strength of our AST team was phenomenal. They provided us with a concrete plan to change [our son’s] behaviors by changing ours. We had complete support on every aspect of the treatment. Our counselor cheered us on when things went well and stuck by us through the difficult task of changing our behaviors and patterns. Our family continues to work daily on the methods we have learned and we continue to enjoy the benefits of our newfound knowledge. Thank you AST for making our home a happy one again!”

- The Hein Family

“AST managed our case with sensitivity and care while maintaining professionalism and ethical standards. As parents of a child with autism, we needed support and guidance without judgment or criticism. AST provided us with this, plus hope and promise for our child’s future.”

- Darin

“It is incredible the progress he has made. My son will have a great life, because of all the things the AST team has done for him.”
