Service.autism.pic.jpgWe offer a variety of services for the Autistic or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) child. This includes, but is not limited to Discrete Trial Training as a part of an Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) approach. Although this approach has a proven record of achievement with the Autistic population, we modify our services for each individual child. Our goal is for each child to be successful in attaining his or her academic, social, and adaptive skills.

We offer the following services:

  • Parent Training
  • Weekly Parent Support Groups
  • Special Education Itinerant Teacher (SEIT)
  • Speech Teacher Assistant
  • Parental Workshops
  • Ongoing Parental Support

Our Special Educators are all highly trained and receive continuing education and supervision. If your child is in a center-based program, we work in conjunction with his or her classroom teacher as much as possible to coordinate programs and learning strategies.
