About Ascend Autism - Nashville
A 5,000-square-foot center at 2603 Westwood Drive, Nashville, TN 37204, is where Ascend Autism offers early-intervention, full-day, half-day, and after-school ABA programs. The center also includes integrated social skills learning, parent coaching, and autism spectrum evaluation support. Therapy is naturalistic and play-based, with one-on-one sessions from ABA-trained behavior therapists and oversight from a board-certified behavior analyst.
The full-day program is for children from 18 months through 6 years and runs 35 to 40 hours per week. The half-day program is 20 to 25 hours per week. The after-school program is for school-aged children and has limited availability. ABA services are covered by the majority of health plans, including Medicaid. Examples of accepted plans include Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem BlueCross, Beacon, Cigna, Empire, Oxford Health, and Carelon. Network status at the Nashville center depends on the plan. Enrollment uses the front and back of the insurance card and an autism spectrum evaluation report.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Ascend Autism - Nashville
Where does therapy take place?
Sessions are offered in the center. Scheduling and session length are set with you at intake, around your child's goals and your family's routine.
What insurance is accepted?
TennCare and Tennessee Medicaid plans are accepted. Coverage varies by plan, so benefits are verified before services start and you will know your expected cost up front.
What ages do you work with?
Services start in the toddler years and continue through the preschool and school-age years, and older children and teens are served as well. Earlier is generally better, but it is not too late to start if your child is already in school.
Do we need a diagnosis before we start?
Most insurance plans require an autism diagnosis and a referral for ABA before they will authorize services. If you do not have one yet, call anyway and the team can point you toward evaluation options in the area.
How do we get started?
The first step is a phone call or an inquiry through this page. From there the team checks your insurance benefits, schedules an assessment, and builds a plan with you before therapy hours begin.
What areas do you serve?
Families come from across Nashville and the wider Middle Tennessee area.
