Center Based Comprehensive Services: Individualized (one to one) ABA treatment for children aged 2-6 in our facility. Our center based services provide early intensive and comprehensive ABA therapy for 25- 40 hours per week based on clinical assessment and recommendation. Each child's program is tailored to their needs based on clinical recommendations, assessments, and caregiver input and delivered by a trained behavior technician. Children engage in typical routines such as playground time, art, music, sensory activities and more while receiving one to one support in development. ​

Group Center Based Focused Services: ABA treatment in a group format with ratios of 2-4 clients and one technician. This program is designed for children who have met prerequisite group, social, and communication skills. The program has a strong focus on social skill, play, and group development. Children who qualify for this program will be developing play skills, conversational skills, self regulation, and group skills which will support them in transition to less restrictive environments and school aged programs.

Verbal Behavior Programming-Assessed with the VB-Mapp and functional skills assessments, children will participate in intensive verbal behavior programming and design tailored to their individual needs. Children will participate in individual communication and skill building to develop prerequisite skills necessary to participate in group and naturalized learning environments.

The VB-Mapp is based on B.F. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior, established developmental milestones, and research from the field of behavior analysis.

They will gather information about your child from our intake paperwork, the parent or guardian who brings the child to the evaluation, and from any assessments or tests they feel are indicated to come up with a plan of care. Once the evaluation is performed, the SLP will determine if services are medically indicated for your child. If so, they will work with you to come up with a schedule for your child to attend speech therapy on a regular basis, based on your family's needs and funding information.

Articulation

Pediatric occupational therapy is focused around a child- led, play based approach to help children gain the skills necessary to meet developmental milestones, engage in meaningful activities, and function in their environment at the most optimal level. Occupational therapy provides supports for physical, social, sensory, cognitive, emotional, and feeding needs. Our pediatric occupational therapists are specially trained to evaluate your child. They will gather information from our intake paperwork, the parent or guardian who brings the child to the evaluation, and from any assessments or tests they feel are indicated to come up with a plan of care.

Feeding
Our feeding program is comprised of both occupational therapists and speech and language pathologists who have specialized training in the SOS Approach to feeding. This is a sensory-based approach for children who are picky or problem eaters. They integrate oral-motor, sensory, and nutritional approaches in order to comprehensively evaluate and treat children and infants with feeding or growing difficulties. Our feeding therapists will gather information about your child from our intake paperwork, the parent or guardian who brings the child to the evaluation, and from any assessments or tests they feel are indicated to come up with a plan of care. We ask that you bring preferred and non-preferred foods with you to the evaluation so that we can observe their eating habits.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Our therapists utilize both high-tech and low-tech approaches to help children use assistive technology in a way that is functional for them and your family. They use combined approaches for communication with sign language, picture exchange, device-based approaches etc. depending on what is most appropriate for your child. Also available in our facilities is equipment (toys) that can be operated by switches to make playing with items accessible to children who have difficulty using their hands for any reason (ex. low tone or congenital anomalies). Our therapists can provide suggestions for accommodations that can be made at home, or other equipment that might be purchased for home use.
