Social skills groups are developed with children of similar age, developmental level, and cognitive ability to develop interpersonal skills needed for life, let out energy and have fun.

Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy are often critical components in developing a comprehensive program in supporting individuals with autism. We will develop a custom program ensuring that your child receives all necessary services.

What Is Applied Behavior Analysis (aba)?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the gold standard in assisting children with autism develop new skills and improve socially significant behaviors. ABA is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Surgeon General, and the National Academies of Science as the best practice for individuals diagnosed with autism. We utilize time tested and data driven techniques to build communication skills, improve independence, decrease behaviors, and increase social skills so your child can thrive in every situation.
