Ascend Aide Team!
Aide services provide support for the child and their families as they work on their therapy goals! They implement specific strategies that are provided by the therapists on your child's team! Our aides bring activities with them to work on goals through play-based activities and always keep it fun! Our aides work within your home or within the community for outings to work on social skills!
