Services Overview

Verbal Behavior Program



After an assessment is conducted, an individualized in-home program is developed consisting of one-to-one teaching from a developmental therapist. Ongoing supervision and monitoring as well as program updates are done by one of our behavior analysts at least twice a month. Each program consists of goals focused on communication, social skills, appropriate behavior and generalization of these skills into the natural environment.

Parent Training



Board Certified Behavior Analyst, or Associate Behavior Analyst providing hands-on feedback to parents on how to manage their child’s behavior.

Behavior Management Plan



Provided to family, friends and schoolteachers of a child who engages in problematic behavior. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst or Associate Behavior Analyst will conduct an assessment and develop a plan based on the function of the problem behavior.

Natural Environment Teaching (NET)



Involves a developmental therapist role-modeling to a parent on how to promote language that their child does not use spontaneously. This is incorporated into the Verbal Behavior Program to be sure that the children are generalizing the new skills they are acquiring outside of the usual therapy session.

Day Camps
