Person-Centered Care
All our programs are designed to maximize each individual’s potential.
Your Partner in Autism Support
SASS uses proven, science-based methods to create personalized programs for individuals with autism and their families. Our approach focuses on each person’s strengths, interests, preferences, and priorities.
Programs target practical skills that improve daily life and promote independence. They are tailored, evidence-based, and family-centered, with active family involvement as appropriate.
We focus on those areas identified as priorities by the individual and/or their family such as play, skills, resume building, and communication.
We use activity-based learning in all programs. Learning is more effective when it’s fun!
