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).Â
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.Â
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, we offer virtual social skills groups 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!
Visual Immersion System
The Visual Immersion Systemâ„¢ (VISâ„¢) 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 VISâ„¢ framework utilizes specifically-designed immersive visual supports and other technologies that are supported by decades of research and evidence-based practice.Â
