Aspire is proud to announce that we have been accepted as a provider on the Autism Panel. That means if your child has been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder and you have been approved for funding from FaHCSIA you are eligible to receive services from us under this funding package.
We pride ourselves on the fact that we provide contemporary ABA programs that are highly individualised and based on empirically validated teaching strategies to meet your family and your child’s needs.
By dedicating ourselves to working closely together with your family, other professionals, and schools and by providing high quality and on-going staff training we can help your child reach their potential.
Contact us for an initial assessment at your home to see whether our services suit your needs and we can provide a program for your child. We provide services in the Sydney metropolitan area, rural New South Wales, Queensland and the Asia Pacific region.
