Launch Transitional Services

Launch Transitional Services is an ABA service provider for neurodivergent teenagers and young adults, where we focus programming on 3 main areas: social skills, executive functioning skills and pre-employment needs. We believe our clients know their experiences best, that is why their input is an integral part in their treatment. From beginning assessments, to prioritization of goals, our clients have a say in it all. Together as a team, we will map out a path to independence that our clients can feel confident about.

Neurodiversity refers to the natural diversity in the human brain and how differences should be accepted and celebrated. Neurodivergent refers to a person’s brain who differs or diverges from the statistical norm. Neurodivergent individuals may identify with characteristics of the following diagnosis or have been diagnosed with the following but not limited to: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia and Down Syndrome.

Launch Transitional Services are offered through Great Heights ABA, a Hawaii extension of Great Heights ABA Indiana.

Services provided

Launch provides ABA services covered through a variety of insurance providers or through private pay. ABA services for teenagers and young adults will incorporate a variety of ABA-based teaching strategies, choice and collaboration. Community is important to us at Launch, which is why we offer frequent group caregiver events and client outings/parties where friends and siblings can also attend.

Participants must be neurodiverse students who can be responsible for their own behavior without 1:1 support and motivated to be around peers.

Launch Transitional Services serves neurodivergent individuals age 14 through 22. For insurance funded ABA services, a diagnosis of Autism is required. For private pay options, no Autism diagnosis is required. We are unable to support clients with potentially dangerous behaviors at this time.
