What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Speech and Language Therapy
Using an integrated approach of speech and hearing sciences with applied behavior analysis, our program implements a best practices methodology for helping children with autism learn how to communicate.
Applied Behavior Analysis
ABA is the most effective research-based intervention available for children with autism and involves up to 40 hours per week of direct therapy to teach children a comprehensive range of life skills.
Family Coaching
This program assists families experiencing very high levels of challenging behavior and life circumstances, so that children can remain in their own home and families can achieve a high quality of life.
