Treatment Focus

Our therapy draws from the naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention paradigm for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.  Our focus is on improving the core symptoms of autism including social communication, social awareness, social cognition, social motivation, flexibility, play skills, sensory processing, and improving restricted interests.  Children are also taught to regulate their emotions during times of distress and taught to use their communication skills instead of "big emotions"/negative behaviors to get their needs met.

Skills are taught in a 1:1 setting with staff trained in ABA therapy using play and natural routines.
