AAPSA was founded upon the vision of excellence in patient care driven by science and compassion. We are driven each day to deliver excellent assessment and treatment services to individuals and their families. But we recognize that we must do more. The number of individuals who need help are ever increasing and it is not lost on us how urgently evidence-based, quality care is necessary. We are dedicated to growing thoughtfully as an agency in order to meet this increasing need. In all of our endeavors, we strive to share the wealth of knowledge that will enable children, adolescents, and adults we serve to achieve their full potential; to help caregivers and teachers to become powerful change agents; and to facilitate the broader community’s recognition of those with developmental and mental health concerns as valuable members of the community. This philosophy is embedded in every aspect of what we do, and in all that we intend to accomplish.
