AASCEND is a one-of-a-kind community of support dedicated to concerns of adults with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.

This is a collection of Internet and other resources which parents of children with PDD, PDD-NOS, autism, Asperger"s Syndrome, or hyperlexia may find useful. All the information concerns teaching methods that are a branch of applied behavior analysis (ABA) called behavioral intervention. This site contains a list of ABA providers all over the US and some international.

We offer state-of-the art ABA-based discrete trial (DTT) and natural environment training (NET) to children across the autism spectrum, ages 12 months to 8 years. Our goal is to help each child learn the language, play, social, daly living, and academic skills he or she needs to lead a happy and productive life, while reducing challenging behaviors such as tantrums and self-stimulatory behavior. We provide consultation and direct one-to-one skills training services to children living locally in North and West Los Angeles.

The ABRITE Organization is dedicated to improving the lives of young learners with the use of early intensive intervention services based on the principles of applied behavior analysis. We view each child as an individual and develop an educational curriculum that addresses the learner’s unique strengths while remedying deficits. This goal is achieved solely with the use of empirically supported methodologies as we believe further development and dissemination of validated practices will be the way by which families and science can unite to improve the lives of children with autism and related developmental delays.

Areas of Focus: Evaluation/Treatment of ADD/ADHD, low achievers, autism/Aspergers, dyslexia, learning disabilities, poor study habits. Tutoring. Indivdual courses for credits.

Academic Trainer is a unique tutorial service tailored to accelerate each learner to his or her capacity! We acknowledge the different skills in each learner and tailor his or her program to address their specific strengths and weaknesses. Our services are based on over 50 years of scientific research in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is a technology that has been thoroughly researched and empirically validated by the scientific community, and the heart of our effective program.

The Academy for the Advancement of Children with Autism and Other Related Disorders (AACA) is a school committed to the self-actualization of students affected by any aspect of Autism and other related disorders. It is our goal to assist both parents and children facing developmental challenges to focus and build upon strengths while minimizing the manifestations of the disorder. We at AACA understand that research in the area of Autism spectrum disorders is ongoing and hope that we will have answers soon. In the meantime, we believe that the treatment of developmental disorders lies not in one single therapy, but rather in a more collaborative approach. In the end, it is each student achieving his or her best potential that counts.

The Academy for the Advancement of Children with Autism (AACA) is a newly-formed organization that offers information, education and treatment services for children with autism and other related disorders. The Academy is committed to the self-actualization of students affected by any aspect of autism.

AACA provides an academic solution to children facing developmental challenges. Specialized education curriculums are combined with individualized treatment programs to further the advancement of each child. No two children sharing the same diagnosis respond equally to the same exact course of treatment. Transition is also extremely difficult for most children facing these types of challenges. Therefore, AACA believes that to achieve the best results it is necessary to make many different types of treatments available so that each child's specific needs can be addressed.

The Academy offers the most cutting-edge research-based treatments available to date. There is also a clinic on site. Treatments available at AACA include:

- Adaptive PE
- Applied Behavior Analysis
- EGG Biofeedback
- Equine Therapy
- Floortime Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Parent Training
- Psychotherapy
- Respite Therapy
- Speech and Learning
