behavior and pre academic skills. Beginning with a detailed assessment, a program centered on the specific needs of your child and family is created. Using a comprehensive instructional approach and teaching in natural settings, we draw on your
child’s interests to make learning fun. Every child’s program is supervised by a dedicated Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Based on initial and ongoing assessment, specific teaching strategies are implemented to meet your child’s goals. Our evidence-based practices follow the science of Applied Behavior Analysis including natural environment training, incidental teaching, discrete trial instruction, pivotal response training, and chaining, with a focus on a verbal behavior classification system.
