At Spectrum Behavioral Care, we are dedicated to helping autistic adults build independence, manage emotions, and thrive. Our outpatient programs are structured, full- or half-day treatment programs that support real-life progress through therapy, skill-building, and social connection.

Why Families Turn to Spectrum Behavioral Care

Parents and family members are often the first to notice when their young adults on the spectrum need more help navigating adulthood. When child and adolescent-based services end, many families are left asking: Now what? We understand the challenges families and young adults face, and we are here to partner with you through the process.

We offer a trusted next step.

Spectrum Behavioral Care provides evidence-based outpatient programs built specifically for autistic adults. Our team helps each individual develop emotional skills, communication tools, and greater self-sufficiency in a compassionate and supportive setting. 

We are an out-of-network provider and we will help families navigate insurance billing challenges. Ask us how!
