Our Approach
We believe that early intervention is crucial for children with autism. Our interdisciplinary team of professionals, including developmental occupational therapists, psychologists, behavior analysts, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and special education teachers, work together to develop individualized intervention plans tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Assessment and Evaluation:
We begin by conducting a thorough assessment (with tools like ADOS 2, GENERAL MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT etc )to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and specific areas of need. Our team utilizes evidence-based assessment tools and techniques to gather information about your child’s communication, social skills, behavior, and sensory processing.
Individualized Intervention Plans:
Based on the assessment results, we develop an individualized intervention plan specifically designed to address your child’s needs. Our interventions focus on improving communication skills, social interactions, cognitive development, behavior management, and sensory integration.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA):
ABA is a scientifically proven approach to teaching new skills and reducing challenging behaviors. Our team includes experienced behavior analysts who utilize ABA techniques to teach appropriate behaviors, improve social skills, and promote positive outcomes for your child.
Speech and Language Therapy:
Our speech-language pathologists provide targeted interventions to enhance your child’s communication skills. We use evidence-based practices to improve speech articulation, expand vocabulary, develop expressive and receptive language, and enhance social communication abilities.
Occupational Therapy:
Our occupational therapists work with children to enhance their sensory processing, fine motor skills, self-help skills, and overall independence. We create a supportive environment where children can develop essential life skills and increase their participation in everyday activities.
Social Skills Training:
We understand the importance of social skills for your child’s overall development. Our team conducts structured social skills training sessions to teach appropriate social behaviors, enhance peer interactions, and foster friendships.
Parent and Family Support:
We believe that parents and families play a vital role in their child’s progress. We provide parent training, education, and ongoing support to help you better understand your child’s needs, implement strategies at home, and promote consistent progress.
Collaboration and Transitions:
We collaborate closely with other professionals, such as pediatricians, educators, and therapists outside our center, to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to your child’s care. We also assist with the transition to school settings, providing support and guidance to ensure a smooth transition for your child.
