Partial Hospitalization Program
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of structured care we offer for adults with autism and other developmental disabilities who require a comprehensive, structured, and intensive therapeutic support while remaining in their home environment. Serving as a bridge between inpatient care and intensive outpatient services, PHP provides a high level of care tailored to individual needs, ensuring participants receive consistent, structured intervention while maintaining their independence.​​​
​
With a team of experienced professionals guiding treatment, PHP is designed to help individuals gain the tools they need to navigate daily life, build independence, and successfully transition to a lower level of care. Our structured yet person-centered approach ensures that each participant receives the support necessary to thrive.

Our multidisciplinary team utilizes evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychoeducation, individualized psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, family involvement, art therapy, mindfulness practices, social skills training, and self-regulation strategies to promote long-term well-being. ​ PHP is ideal for individuals who require a higher level of support than traditional outpatient care, but do not need round-the-clock supervision.
