About you
Enthusiastic individual with experience in education and customer service that shares in our mission to help families and bring exceptional treatment and services to children with autism and other developmental disabilities.
About Us
We believe in the ability that exists within every child who has developmental disabilities, and that all children deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Over the past two decades McCarton has transformed the lives of thousands of children from around the globe through the McCarton Center for Developmental Pediatrics, the McCarton School for children with autism, and the Children’s Academy for children with speech and language learning delays. We utilize the McCarton Integrated Model, which combines speech and language therapy, fine and gross motor therapy, sensory integration therapy, socialization with peers, developmental play skills and applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy.
Now the McCarton Foundation is launching our new early intervention program, providing services for infants and toddlers diagnosed with autism and other developmental disabilities. We're offering home-based services throughout New York City and center-based services at our brand new center in the Bronx.
