The Scholarship Benefits?

ASP and JPSN offers parents a unique opportunity to empower their children with autism by accessing specialized education and services beyond the traditional school district. At our program, we are dedicated to helping students achieve their individualized goals by providing a highly skilled team of Intervention Specialists, Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), and Instructional Assistants. Together, we create a supportive and inclusive environment tailored to each student’s IEP, ensuring they receive the education, care, and attention they need to thrive.
