Now welcoming families in Chula Vista! 🤩

From 1:1 success to thriving alongside others, our Launchpad Learning program 🚀 helps children with autism take a big step toward their educational journey.

Now enrolling for ages 3 to 6, this model suits learners ready to move into a group setting while still receiving the tailored support they need to succeed.

A balance of small-group activities and personalized instruction nurtures essential skills for the academic road ahead. Among four to six peers, kiddos practice teamwork, listening, social interaction, and self-reliance. Individualized sessions then deliver focused guidance around each child’s unique goals and growth areas.

Together, these experiences give children the confidence and abilities to transition smoothly into kindergarten or first grade. 🧒➡️🏫

Take the next step in your child’s journey today! Apply now: https://lrnbvr.com/3UkkRTW.

Every person has a story, a perspective, and a future that deserves to be understood on their own terms. ❤️

We're revisiting Season 7, Episode 7 of the All Autism Talk Podcast, featuring Russell Lehmann, a motivational speaker, poet, and advocate for acceptance. Drawing on lived experience, Russell shares how we found his voice 🗣️ and independence while challenging the stereotypes that too often shape how others see him.

His message is a reminder that a diagnosis tells only part of a person's story. Taking time to learn everyone's strengths, struggles, and aspirations creates room for them to grow into who they are.

Tune in for his insights on identity and the importance of looking beyond assumptions 👉: https://lrnbvr.com/4jomuKw.

A new space, a shared mission, and so much to celebrate! 🥳

We were honored to cut the ribbon on our new Norco Learning Center alongside team members, community leaders, and local partners who made this milestone even more special.

At AST, our mission is rooted in nurturing the unique potential of children with autism. Each Learning Center 🏫 is a chance to meet kiddos where they are, partner closely with families, and create meaningful progress through compassionate, individualized care. We're deeply grateful ❤️ to our dedicated crew for the time, heart, and hard work that brought this location to life.

We also want to thank everyone who joined 🤝 our celebration, including Mayor Kevin Bash, Jamie Ball, President and CEO of the Norco Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, Sarah Azevedo, representing Assemblywoman Natasha Johnson, Colby Cataldi, Director of Community Development for the City of Norco - Government, and the Easterseals SoCal team. Your presence made this day truly memorable.

We're excited to begin this next chapter!
