ABA Therapy
ABA therapy is individually designed and tailored treatment to address your child’s specific needs and enabling them to reach their full potential. A board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) will over see the trained behavior technician and will work one-on-one with your child. This type of therapy can be done your home or at school.
ABA therapy works across settings to treat social and communication deficits, maladaptive behaviors, social skills, independence, developing play skills and much more.
Music Therapy
When working with all populations, music therapists use music-based interventions (in individual or group sessions) to address a range of cognitive, physical and socio-emotional goals determined through an assessment by the music therapist. These interventions may include singing, song writing, musical improvisation, receptive music listening and other speciality techniques. Areas of care that most readily benefit from music therapy include:

Board Certified Behavioral Analysis
A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) will clinically oversee your child's treatment and progress. They also develop all programs and behavior treatment plans. The BCBA will work along side the therapist to conduct and implement all ABA & IBI therapies.
Benefits of Early Intervention
Studies have shown the effectiveness of early intervention for young children with autism. For example, the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), an intensive early intervention program that combines ABA and developmental psychology, showed positive outcomes for children under two-and-a-half years old. The program uses play-based activities to help children learn new skills and improve their development. The children in the study received 20 hours per week.
ABA is a scientifically validated approach that focuses on breaking down complex skills into smaller, more manageable steps and reinforcing positive behavior with rewards. This approach can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each child.
