New ABLE Kids Clinic Opens in Downtown Augusta

Here in the vibrant city of Augusta, excitement is buzzing with the grand opening of the new ABLE Kids clinic! Located in the heart of downtown, this clinic is designed to be a haven for children aged 2-6 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With its official ribbon-cutting ceremony recently held, the community is eager to see the fun-filled, supportive environment that will cater to the needs of these young children.

A Fun and Supportive Environment

Walking into ABLE Kids, one can’t help but notice how every corner of the clinic is filled with cheerful colors and playful features. The centerpiece is an amazing indoor playground where kids can let loose and play. But that’s just the beginning! The clinic also boasts a fantastic space-themed sensory room, perfect for stimulating little minds and sparking their imaginations. And for those times when kids need a little quiet and relaxation, there’s a cozy calming corner complete with cushy seating to unwind in.

Run around a bit too much? No worries! Kids can bounce around in the gross-motor room that includes a small trampoline to keep those little legs active while developing important motor skills. This space not only encourages physical play but also offers a safe environment for kids to thrive as they explore their abilities.

Comprehensive Early Intensive Intervention

But the fun doesn’t stop there! ABLE Kids is all about serious support too. The clinic provides early intensive intervention services that focus on applied behavior analysis therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Children typically spend a remarkable 32-40 hours each week at the clinic from Monday to Friday, gaining the skills they need for a brighter future.

Family Support and Resources

Parents are not left out of the loop either. Recognizing that they also need guidance, ABLE Kids offers monthly family training sessions to provide valuable resources and support. The clinic is committed to building a community touchpoint for families, helping them navigate the challenges that come with raising a child with ASD.

Celebrating Milestones

ABLE Kids, the clinic celebrates their progress with special graduation ceremonies. These heartwarming events feature children in cute caps and gowns, proudly marking their milestones and successes. Many graduates of ABLE Kids have found their way to neurotypical classroom settings with minimal support, highlighting the effectiveness of the clinic’s programs.

Looking Ahead

Currently, ABLE Kids is fully booked, a true testament to the demand for its services in our community. However, those interested can breathe a sigh of relief as there are over a dozen other ABLE Kids clinics operating throughout Georgia and South Carolina.
