Baton Rouge, LA (PRWEB) June 16, 2016 -- Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST), an agency that provides comprehensive autism services, began serving New Orleans in 2011 and is now expanding to Baton Rouge. AST provides support for individuals with autism from infancy through adulthood, as well as their parents, families, schools, and communities.
Celebrating 15 years of serving the autism community and 5 years in Louisiana, AST has established itself as a trusted provider of ABA and an asset to the New Orleans community.
AST's Clinical Director, Rebecca Mandal-Blasio has been a powerful force in the New Orleans autism community, helping to build an extraordinary team that provides in-home and clinic-based ABA services.
