Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. Behavior analysis helps us to understand: how behavior works, how behavior is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place. ABA is led by the child and takes place in a naturalistic environment.
Occupational therapy (OT) addresses motor, physical and cognitive skills. For people with autism, OT programs often focus on play skills, learning strategies, and self-care. OT strategies can also help to manage sensory processing challenges.
Speech-language therapy addresses challenges with language and communication. Our Speech and Language Pathologist provides an individualized approach to improve verbal, nonverbal, and social communication. The goal is to help the child communicate in a functional and effective way.
Physical therapy (PT) addresses critical skills necessary for a wide variety of play activities. Physical therapists use play based learning to connect basic skills to games which expand socialization and interactive play for people with autism.
