Looking Upwards Home Based Therapeutic Services:
Looking Upwards Home-Based Therapeutic Services is a program for children and youth 0-21 years of age with autism or developmental disabilities, behavioral or mental health needs who are found eligible.  The clinical team meets families to develop an individualized approach to supporting their child’s success.  Trained staff members will work one-on-one with families during the challenging parts of their child’s daily routine. With their support, parents learn to teach their child new behaviors and skills.
