Your Program
Every client is unique, and we develop a customized ABA curriculum to address specific goals and challenges. Each individual's plan will target their particular needs based on individual assessments.
Our therapists will train family members, caregivers, and school staff to assist with specific programs (e.g. how to prevent and respond to challenging behaviors and how to increase developing skills) to guide your success. This can be done through highly structured teaching methods or naturalistic learning depending on your needs. Replacement behaviors and positive reinforcement will always be a key component to your program!
Data is collected on a consistent basis and ongoing assessments occur to ensure the interventions in place are effective.
Individual Therapy
Available on a one to one basis to teach specific skills and to reduce challenging behaviors.
Small Group Therapy
Available to assist with generalization and maintenance of communication and social skills through play dates, community outings, and other interactive activities.
Programming
Skill Building
The therapist, individual, and caregivers will develop specific goals they would like to work on based on observations and assessments. These goals will be taught through individualized programs broken down into systematic steps. Some goals may consist of daily living skills, language development, socialization, and academic skills.
Interfering Behaviors
Some people often engage in problem behaviors because they aren't able to communicate their needs. Through careful observation and science based experiments we will assess what the function of each behavior is and teach replacement behaviors that are more functional and socially appropriate.
