About Assent Behavioral
Our Mission
At Assent Behavioral Services LLC, our mission is to empower individuals with autism and other related developmental disabilities to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling lives. We are dedicated to providing exceptional, evidence-based therapeutic interventions and comprehensive support services that foster growth, independence, and inclusion. Through our compassionate and personalized approach, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of our clients, their families, and in the community. We hope to help in filling the need in our community of Etowah County.
Our Philosophy
Compassionate ABA Therapy
At Assent Behavioral Services LLC, we believe every child deserves to learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive and respectful environment. Our approach to ABA therapy is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and respect.
We see each child as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. That means we take time to understand their unique strengths, needs, and interests, and we tailor our therapy to support their individuality. We use evidence-based practices that are respectful, and centered on building meaningful skills that improve quality of life.
Families are at the heart of our work. We view parents and caregivers as essential partners in the therapy process and provide consistent guidance, communication, and support along the way.
Our goal is not just to reduce challenges, but to build confidence, independence, and joyful connections—at home, in school, and in the community.
