We provide a comprehensive behavior therapy program for children with autism and related disorders based on scientifically validated principles of applied behavior analysis. Our program is specifically designed to meet each child’s needs, endeavors to respect the dignity and worth of each child, promote each child’s capabilities, and expand each child’s opportunities to function in as normative an environment as possible. We emphasize functional assessments, parent involvement, and social and peer interaction. Our program consists of providing a variety of specific behavior therapy techniques, including but not limited to prompting, fading, positive and differential reinforcement, instructional support, and discrete trial training. Parents are considered integral members of our treatment team; we emphasize close coordination with other providers and funding sources, as well as parent training and support.
