We aim to provide a collaborative therapy plan that is tailored to your child. Please see the brief description of services below.

One of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts will conduct an assessment of your child's strengths and needs and will tailor a program specifically for him or her that adjusts as your child progresses. One of our caring professionals (a Registered Behavior Technician or Behavior Health Technician) will run the program with your child up to 40 hours per week in the comfort of your home with BCBA program oversight.
Our ELC, designed for kids with autism or at risk for autism, ages 1 - 6, features a one on one RBT or BHT with each child running individualized ABA therapy programs. Our kiddos get the benefit of intensive one on one instruction while enjoying the social interaction with their peers as well as school-readiness activities such as circle time. Traditional therapies are available and the programs are overseen by BCBAs.
Our ASP is intended for kids on the autism spectrum ages 7 - 13. Each child is paired with a BHT or RBT to work a program tailored to the child while socializing with peers. The kiddos practice daily living skills such as meal prep, cleaning the kitchen, taking care of a bedroom in the mock "hotel" as well as games and group arts and crafts. Traditional therapies are available and the programs are overseen by BCBAs.

Respite providers care for a child or adult with special needs in the client's home or in the community. This may include watching movies together, playing games, going on a walk, or to parent/guardian-approved field trips. Respite is intended to give the primary caregiver a break.
