Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for individuals with autism. It is a discipline devoted to the understanding and improvement of human behavior, focusing on objectively defined, observable behaviors of social significance.

Speech therapy focuses on improving a child’s speech and abilities to understand and express language, including nonverbal language. Speech therapy includes coordinating the mouth and vocal mechanism to produce sounds to form words and sentences as well as understanding and expressing language, and the social use of language.

A child’s day is made up of activities and routines, or “occupations.” These occupations may be playing with toys, coloring, eating with a spoon or putting on a T-shirt. All of these activities are essential for a child’s development. Occupational therapy helps children develop these skills.

Physical therapy assists in helping a child perform all physical functions required for their day such as rolling, crawling, sitting, standing, walking, etc. During the early years of development, physical therapy is essential to encourage a child’s growth towards independence, peer play, and overall health and fitness.

Social skills groups are a fun way to teach and guide the children participating in the group to establish and maintain social interactions with their peers. Our ABA-trained interdisciplinary team has developed an engaging curriculum to help your child be successful while addressing his or her social development.

The Interdisciplinary Treatment Model means that different therapies, like ABA, speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, are provided in purposefully coordinated manner.
