ABA THERAPY

Following a thorough assessment and evaluation, our board certified professionals will devise and implement an individualized Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) for your child. Early intervention goals typically focus on teaching a child how to learn, while more advanced skills relate to community functioning and academic success. Please see below for additional information regarding some of the behaviors that are typically targeted for either acquisition or reduction in children diagnosed with autism.

EARLY LEARNER SKILLS

Newly diagnosed children on the spectrum often need to work on early learner skills before they move on to more advanced ones. Early learner skills are those "learning how to learn" skills that will help your child learn efficiently and effectively. Some early learner skills that children on the autism spectrum often lack include making eye contact, imitating simple sounds and actions, following instructions, requesting desired items, pointing, joint attention skills and social referencing. Once these early learner skills are acquired, your child will be well on his way to achieving his fullest developmental potentials.
