Our Services
ABA Therapy
The heart of our services, ABA therapy is considered the gold standard of treatment for individuals with autism and other developmental disorders. Therapy focuses on teaching the skills that will make the most direct impact in a child's day to day lives. We offer half day and full day ABA therapy programs. Therapy generally occurs in the clinic environment, and incorporates components of home, school, and community generalization to ensure that the critical skills learned in the clinic environment can also be transferred into the child's natural environment as well. ABA therapy is fun and engaging, typically taught in naturally occurring settings, is tailored to the individual strengths, needs, and motivations of the individual learner. Individual skills targeted vary as dramatically as the individuals themselves, but common areas of focus often include skill areas such as communication, self-care and daily routine independence, coping and compromising skills, social skills, learner readiness, teaching successful alternatives to challenging behaviors, and more.
Diagnostic Evaluation Referrals
We refer to a network of diagnosticians that can help to provide a range of diagnostic evaluations for your child. We choose preferred providers that offer high quality services at affordable prices, maintain short wait lists, and have a track record of ongoing collaborative treatment to help build a cross-discipline treatment “team” approach for your child’s needs.
School Consultation
General Consultation – This service is available directly to an individual School or District and goals are determined on an individual basis depending on specific school needs and goals. Examples of past School Consultation projects include completing FBAs and creating BIPs for students with maladaptive behaviors, teacher and team training on behavior intervention packages, Professional Development series in autism, managing maladaptive behaviors, or other related topics, setting up whole classroom interventions to support individuals with special needs, implementation of data collection procedures meet IEP requirements and accurately capture progress made, general consultation and ongoing support in development of high quality autism or special needs programs, or consultation related to building capacity within existing school teams that serve high-needs populations. Ideal candidates are school teams or districts who want additional support for their special needs students and to build capacity within their own team to meet these needs.
FBA/BIP Package: 20-hour package that includes completion of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) to determine what purpose a given maladaptive behavior serves for an individual and Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) that outlines a step-by-step plan for how to reduce the problem behavior and teach replacement skills that serve the same purpose of the client. Includes parent, teacher, or caregiver training on the plan according to setting. This is a good option for an individual whose only therapeutic requests are related to reduction of interfering behaviors. And for whom ongoing therapy are not feasible.
