At Ascend, we aren’t just providing therapy; we are elevating the standard of care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As a center-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) provider, our mission is to prepare every child and their family for the next big step in their lives. We believe that by focusing on school readiness and holistic family success, we can create lasting outcomes that extend far beyond our center walls. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are therapists that work one-on-one with children diagnosed with autism and directly implement an ABA treatment plan designed and guided by BCBAs. RBTs help the children acquire new skills and work toward the goals of improving communication, social interactions, problem-solving and adaptive living skills.
