Summary
AutismUp aspires to provide the very best in autism support programs and services in the Greater Rochester and surrounding areas, and aims to support peak performance at every age and ability. We know that every individual with autism is different, and we endeavor to match the level of support to each individual participant. Why do we know this? Because we are parents of children with autism too, and we get it. We create customized programs based on what we know about our own children with autism. We've lived through the development stages and experienced the behaviors, the ups, the downs, the laughter and, of course, the tears --- we've seen and dealt with it all. We know parents worry about registering their children with autism for a recreation or after-school program, because we've been there. We've asked ourselves these questions: Will he be successful? Will she participate? Will there be enough support?
We are all driven by the underlying need to be social and enjoy the company of others in our lives. That is the underlying basis for what we all want - our children to have friends, fun and happiness. At AutismUp, we believe that we can achieve these things while building social, recreation, sensory and readiness skills for a lifetime.
You wouldn't send your child with autism to a program without proper support and opportunities to be successful, would you? Good news...neither would we! Hence, the reason we have created a one-of-a-kind Multi-Sensory Learning Environment. Individuals with autism, and their families, can learn new things in a innovative, safe, highly supported, sensory-friendly, judgment free environment.
We have been learning from, and listening to, families since we started in 2004. We continually ask families what they want for their children with autism, these responses have guided the development of our programs, services and creation of our multi sensory learning environment.
