Devoted to Growth of Children | Paul DeAngelo

Mission Autism Clinics understand that every child is different and strive to facilitate a high level of trust and respect for all who walk through their doors. From the initial phone call, their intake specialist will walk every parent through expectations throughout the process. They do an initial assessment and evaluation with the child. Their Masters Level BCBA will then write a treatment plan individualized for that child based on the Child’s current skillset and the  parent’s goals for their child. From there, the RBTs implement those plans day to day with the Child, and they provide Parent training so that they can implement the skills they are working on at home. Honesty and transparency are essential amongst their employees and clients. Mission Autism Clinics are dedicated to creating a positive difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. “Our team utilizes world-class ABA therapy techniques in our programs. Each staff member is encouraged to continue building their knowledge, skills, and character through various professional development opportunities,” adds Paul.

According to the steadfast leader, technology utilization in the autism space is in its infancy stage. “During the pandemic we utilized telehealth to support some of our families and it worked out well for specific applications. We continue to evaluate technology developments and how those can continue to improve our services,” he explains. “We approach competition with a partnership mentality. Although we are competing we all have the same goal of providing quality services to our autism communities we serve and having our kiddos thrive in their day to day interactions in the community.”

Paul and his team’s approach has been well received, creating a great relationship and support in sharing best practices and benchmarking for the industry. They engage with the communities where they have facilities, support many events, and partner with organizations to educate the community on Autism and ABA Therapy. Mission Autism Clinics are committed to the growth and potential of the children and families they serve. Every achievement is celebrated, and Mission Autism Clinics continuously works with children to foster a positive environment and pave the road to their long-term success.

Mission Autism Clinics’ most significant achievement is managing to start a business and grow it to where it is today with 10 clinics and 125 employees across two states during a global pandemic. It is a true testament to the Mission Autism Clinics relentless optimistic approach and no giving up attitude. “The belief in our vision to provide quality services to underserved markets for children with Autism has made us continue to strive during the global pandemic,” adds Paul.

Mission Autism Clinics are expanding their geographic presence in the current markets of Pennsylvania and Maryland and analyzing surrounding states. They are launching several service expansions in the existing facilities like social skills group opportunities for their kiddos who need less intensive therapy. “The work we do at Mission Autism Clinics can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. Our staff continuously relies on one another to maximize our impact on a child’s life. We hold ourselves and each other to the highest ethical standards through collaborating, challenge, inspiration, and support,” elucidates Paul.
