Ascendia begins operations with a founding affiliate that operates 20 centers across eight states, with plans for continued growth through de novo expansion and additional partnerships with leading clinical providers.

，这是一个新平台，致力于扩大自闭症谱系障碍儿童及其家庭获得基于实证的Applied Behavior Analysis（ABA）治疗的机会。Ascendia开始运营时拥有一个创始附属机构，该机构在八个州经营着20个中心，并计划通过新建扩展以及与领先临床提供者的额外合作伙伴关系实现持续增长。

Cathay Capital's investment is sized to fund both the founding transaction and substantial growth capital for the platform's continued expansion. Financial terms were not disclosed..

An estimated one in 31 children in the United States has been identified with autism spectrum disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Demand for ABA therapy continues to outpace supply, and in many communities, families wait months to begin services. ABA is recognized by the U.S.

根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，估计每31名美国儿童中就有1人被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍。对应用行为分析（ABA）疗法的需求持续超过供给，在许多社区，家庭需要等待数月才能开始接受服务。ABA在美国得到认可。

Surgeon General as evidence-based and is now covered by commercial insurance and Medicaid in all 50 states. Yet, access varies sharply by geography and community. The company is committed to narrowing that gap with a clinician-first model centered on outcomes for children and the families who care for them..

美国卫生总监将其认定为循证实践，目前所有50州的商业保险和医疗补助计划均已覆盖。然而，不同地区和社区在获取服务方面存在显著差异。该公司致力于通过以临床医生为先、以儿童及其照护家庭的疗效为核心的模式，缩小这一差距。

Ascendia delivers center-based ABA therapy with a focus on early intervention for children ages two to six. Its clinical team of more than 400 includes over 70 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and more than 300 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), supported by clinical supervision standards that prioritize close BCBA oversight of each child's program.

Ascendia 提供以中心为基础的ABA疗法，专注于为两至六岁儿童提供早期干预。其临床团队由400多人组成，其中包括70多名认证行为分析师（BCBA）和300多名注册行为技术员（RBT），并以严格的临床监督标准支持，确保每位儿童的治疗计划都受到BCBA的密切监督。

The affiliate reports a 4.2-star family satisfaction rating..

该附属机构报告的家庭满意度评分为4.2星。

The company has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by strong organic demand from families and the consistent opening of new clinics. With Cathay Capital's support, Ascendia plans to broaden access in its existing markets and adjacent communities, with new centers planned in all markets over the next 24 months.

近年来，在家庭客户强劲的有机需求以及新诊所持续开业的推动下，该公司实现了快速增长。在国泰资本的支持下，Ascendia计划扩大其在现有市场及周边社区的服务覆盖范围，并计划在未来24个月内于所有市场开设新的中心。

The platform will continue investing in its clinical workforce and expanding into adjacent channels, including schools and school districts, to deliver autism therapy in educational settings where children spend much of their day. These school-based programs allow families, educators, and clinicians to coordinate more closely around each child's goals and progress..

该平台将继续投资于其临床团队，并拓展至包括学校和学区在内的相邻渠道，以便在儿童度过大部分时间的教育环境中提供自闭症治疗。这些基于学校的项目使家庭、教育工作者和临床医生能够围绕每个儿童的目标和进展进行更紧密的协作。

'Family-centered providers represent the kind of mission-driven, clinically rigorous business we are proud to back,' said

“以家庭为中心的服务提供者代表了那种以使命为驱动、临床严谨的企业，我们很自豪能够支持他们。”
