Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the scientific study of behavior that uses positive reinforcement to help clients learn. The goals of ABA include increasing adaptive behaviors, such as communication, independence, and social interactions, and decreasing interfering behaviors, such as aggression and eloping (wandering or running away).
Diagnostic Evaluations
Our licensed, doctoral-level clinical psychologists conduct comprehensive clinical psychological evaluations with the goal of helping children, adolescents, and young adults better understand their unique strengths and weaknesses.
Occupational Therapy
The term occupation refers to activities that occupy your time. For kids, the most important areas of occupation include play, school, and activities of daily living (dressing, eating, bathing). Occupational Therapy sessions are individualized based on the learner’s needs but commonly focus on fine motor skills, visual motor skills, motor coordination, motor planning, and sensory processing to help your child participate in everyday life.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy supports an individual in communicating in a more functional way by improving verbal, nonverbal, and social communication skills. In addition to individual sessions, clients may join language groups with their peers at the center to address communication and interaction in a group setting. These groups provide valuable opportunities for children to practice and improve social communication skills in a supportive and structured environment!
Feeding Therapy
Feeding Therapy allows a child to explore new foods through sensory exploration. Our talented professionals work with children to help them overcome food aversions, introduce them to new tastes and textures, and incorporate healthy foods into a child’s diet to support their growth and overall well-being.
Visual Immersion System
The Visual Immersion System™ (VIS™) is an evidence-based, technology-supported method developed to enhance communication and language skills for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. The VIS™ framework utilizes specifically-designed immersive visual supports and other technologies that are supported by decades of research and evidence-based practice.
