We’re currently looking for passionate professionals who want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. We are hiring for two positions: a Part-Time Psychometrist to join our autism evaluation team and a Child Therapist to provide psychotherapy to our pediatric population.

At API, we believe the best care happens when professionals work together. Our team provides collaborative, integrated mental and behavioral healthcare with a focus on understanding the whole child (not just a diagnosis).

If you’re looking for an opportunity to do meaningful work in a supportive, multidisciplinary environment, we’d love to hear from you!

We are proud to support the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office and their autism initiatives which help to make our communities a little safer and more inclusive. Keep it up!For families who have a loved one with autism, a simple piece of information can make a difference when deputies respond to an emergency. Sheriff Richard R. Del Toro, Jr., is continuing his commitment to strengthening public safety through the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Autism Initiative, designed to help deputies provide safer, more informed responses when responding to calls involving individuals with autism. The initiative helps deputies recognize when a person with autism may be present and draw on their training to adjust their approach to the individual’s needs.

The Sheriff’s Office is providing free autism awareness decals to St. Lucie County residents. The decals can be placed near the front door of a home or in the rear window of a vehicle to alert responding deputies that a person with autism may be present. A person with autism may communicate differently or may not respond to, understand, or react to verbal commands in the way deputies ordinarily expect.

The Sheriff’s Office also offers Project Lifesaver, a safety program designed to help protect individuals who are at increased risk of wandering or becoming lost. Residents can learn more about the Autism Initiative, Project Lifesaver, and other available resources by visiting stluciesheriff.com.

“When our deputies respond, information matters. A simple decal can give our deputies what they need to keep someone safer when it matters most, and every step we take to keep people safer moves us closer to our goal of making St. Lucie County the safest county in Florida.”
— Sheriff Richard R. Del Toro, Jr.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. 💜

Suicide prevention isn't only about what we do at the moment of crisis. It's also about what happens long before someone reaches that point.

It's checking on the friend who has gone quiet.

It's noticing when a coworker doesn't seem like themselves.

It's taking a veteran seriously when they say they're having a hard time adjusting.

It's asking your spouse, your teenager, your parent- or yourself- "Are you really okay?"

And then being willing to listen to the answer.

Mental health care shouldn't begin only when someone reaches their breaking point. The conversations we have before the crisis matter, too.

Autism evaluations aren't just for children.

Many adults grew up at a time when our understanding of autism was very different than it is today. Some learned to mask their differences. Others received different diagnoses. Some spent years wondering why certain social, sensory, or communication experiences seemed harder for them than for everyone else.

For some adults, seeking an evaluation isn't about finding a label.

It's about finding answers.

Understanding yourself can provide context for experiences you've had throughout your life and help identify supports that may make life a little easier.

Call today to discuss our adult autism evaluations (844) 550-7337.

Yesterday, our CEO Nikki Clark had the opportunity to provide public comment during Florida’s ABA Task Force meeting in Tallahassee. More parent testimonials are needed for the next meeting tentatively scheduled for Sept. 15th.

She had just 90 seconds to speak, but advocacy means showing up whenever we have the opportunity.

Decisions about autism services have real impacts on individuals and families. It is critical that these conversations reflect what families are actually experiencing- from barriers to care to the need for comprehensive supports that extend beyond any single therapy.

We will continue showing up, speaking up, and advocating for thoughtful policies that protect access to meaningful care and support for individuals with autism.
