On
November 1, 2016, Vantage Group was awarded funds from the Community Foundation
to develop a program that supports children with autism (ASD) who display maladaptive
behaviors in their family's home in Greater New Haven  

The
Autism program is developed around the concepts and clinical foundations of
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA); which is the only intervention that has
continually demonstrated its effectiveness in helping children with special
needs and behavioral difficulties. 

Vantage
enters into a partnership with the families; not just act as outside clinical
resource.   Parents
are taught how to implement the behavior program; to prompt and reinforce the child
through his or her various daily activities.   Studies show that
children whose parents are actively engaged in behavioral support programs make
measurable gains, i.e. significant decreases in behaviors, more time on
productive tasks, and increased emotional connection with others.
