Building communication, independence, and confidence for teens.

Adolescent Program (Ado)

Adolescent Program

Support for Teen Independence

The Adolescent Program at Augusta Levy provides individualized behavioral and social support for teens who are developing greater independence, communication skills, and emotional regulation. Using evidence-based ABA practices, we help adolescents strengthen functional abilities that prepare them for school, social settings, community participation, and long-term goals.

Program Focus

Evidence-Based Support for Adolescents

The Ado Program helps teens build stronger communication, problem-solving skills, emotional understanding, and the daily living abilities they need as they move toward adulthood. Services are tailored to each teen’s strengths and delivered across clinic, home, school, and community environments.
