Our Autism Treatment Services
No two children or families are the same, so we tailor our autism treatment services to meet your specific needs. From initial assessments after your child’s ASD diagnosis to ongoing therapy and support, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Our primary services include:
ABA Therapy
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is the gold standard for autism treatment, with decades of research to support its effectiveness. Our therapists use ABA techniques to help children and teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) improve their communication, social skills, daily living skills, and other areas of functioning.
If your child is exhibiting challenging behavior, our team will conduct a functional behavior assessment (FBA) to determine the function of the behavior. We’ll figure out why your child is engaging in the behavior, whether it’s to seek attention, avoid a task, or get a preferred item, and then create a behavior plan that helps reduce the challenging behavior and teach replacement skills and coping strategies.
Social Skills Groups
Social skills is an important part of ABA therapy, and can also be conducted as a standalone service. Our social skills groups help children and teens on the autism spectrum learn how to interact with their peers, build friendships, and navigate social situations.
Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI)
EIBI is an intensive form of ABA therapy that is recommended for younger children, typically those under the age of five. Our EIBI program is designed to help children with ASD develop the skills they need to succeed in school and in social situations. This approach is most effective when started as early as possible, so we encourage families to contact us as soon as they have a diagnosis.
Behavioral Management Therapy
Behavioral management therapy (BMT) is a type of ABA therapy that focuses on helping children with ASD manage their emotions and behavior. As part of this approach, our team will teach your child strategies for regulating their emotions, coping with anxiety and frustration, and managing challenging behavior.
