Every child deserves the brightest future and Life Skills Autism Academy is on a mission to help young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have the best developmental experience possible while acquiring the skills to succeed in school on their own terms. Too many children with ASD are untreated or under-treated and Life Skills Autism Academy is committed to reaching every child in need and their families with interventions based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis that meet and exceed best practices.
