Services

Comprehensive Assessment

The outcome of the assessment is a descriptive summary of strengths, needs, and recommendations for an individual plan of treatment.  The evaluation consists of review of records, observation, parent questionnaires, PEP III, ADOS, and SCERTS model assessment tools.

Functional Behavior Assessment

A series of observations are conducted in the natural setting to determine the causes of challenging behaviors.  A detailed report assists in measuring and analyzing data to develop a positive behavior support plan that can be implemented by all caregivers.  The therapist will work closely with the family to ensure consistency and success in changing behavior.

Individual Treatment

This service provides direct instruction based on the special needs of the child and family through a combination of natural environment and in-clinic therapy sessions.  Programs are selected to address all areas of development, including communication, behavior, socialization, play, cognition, self help, and independence. 

Joint Therapy

The child is paired with a peer to continue to work on the above skills, while incorporating basic social skills, such as waiting, turn-taking, sharing, and dramatic play.

Group Therapy

Our Master’s and Doctoral level therapists provide social skills training using SkillStreaming and other highly respected teaching methods.  A variety of classes are offered to address the rules of social engagement for all ages.

Professional Consultation

Children may require additional support in the classroom setting to ensure optimal success.  We offer a hands-on approach to training educators, administrators, and paraprofessionals in the effective implementation of the principles of applied behavior analysis and derivative methodologies to ensure success at school.  Sensitivity training and inclusion program development are also offered.

Program Evaluation

Data is collected during each session to ensure continued progress.  Monthly reports are reviewed with caregivers to establish present level of performance, areas of continued need, and to expand on learning opportunities.
