Learning ARTS - San Francisco

Autism Health Services is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive educational environment for students aged 3 to 21 with autism spectrum disorders and related developmental challenges. The school's core mission revolves around fostering each child's unique abilities while addressing their specific needs, including language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional conditions. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic methodologies, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and social skills training, the school emphasizes individualized learning plans that cater to diverse learning styles. A hallmark of Autism Health Services is its low student-teacher ratio, which ensures personalized attention and fosters meaningful connections between educators and students. Additionally, the school prioritizes strong partnerships with families, recognizing that collaboration is essential for holistic development. Unique community events further enrich the educational experience, creating an inclusive atmosphere that celebrates diversity and promotes social interaction among students and their families.

Our San Francisco office on Union Street serves children with autism and their families across the city, the Peninsula, the East Bay, the South Bay, and Marin using the Autism Partnership Method, our progressive approach to ABA. Rather than fixed drills, therapists make in-the-moment clinical decisions, use motivation-based and natural teaching strategies, and tailor instruction to each child. Programs build communication, social, learning, and independence skills across home, school, and community settings, whether a child is newly diagnosed, starting early intervention, or preparing for school. Autism Partnership has provided ABA treatment since 1994. We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 9am to 5pm and Friday from 9am to 4pm, near Union and Franklin.

Play On Words Early Learning Center in San Francisco is connected to pediatric speech and occupational therapy services. It functions as an early intervention resource instead of a conventional K to 12 school campus.
