Our Endeavors Outreach Program serves clients through a highly individualized and collaborative approach to learning. Our team supports the unique needs of individuals, families, and professionals in the DC Metro area.
Across two decades, Endeavors Outreach Programs successfully grew out of our Endeavors School Program, previously called the Ivymount Autism Program. School staff started providing in-home, wrap-around services to students through our Outreach services to provide support beyond the classroom. These services allowed families to benefit from comprehensive care and fostered the professional growth and development of our staff. Shortly after that, families of students outside of Ivymount, local agencies, and other professionals sought the expertise and approach of our team. As a result, Endeavors Outreach continues utilizing the same best practices.
Your child’s success is our success. That’s why Ivymount Endeavors partners with our other Ivymount Programs to build a community of support for your family through behavior assessment and recommendations, consultation, and therapeutic services.
