With autism on the rise, more and more families find themselves facing the disability head-on. Our organization offers the most effective treatment demonstrated through research for autism: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) through a comprehensive individualized treatment program offering in-home, clinic and community direct therapy provided by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) under the close supervision of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA). Communication and Social Skills training are addressed in collaborative sessions with Licensed Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists.

 

• The Surgeon General of the United States stated, “Thirty years of research demonstrated the efficacy of applied behavioral methods in reducing inappropriate behavior and increasing communication, learning and appropriate social behavior.

• A seminal research study from 1987 by O. Ivar Lovass, Ph.D., indicated that by following intensive ABA therapy, 90 percent substantially improved and 47 percent of the children in the study became indistinguishable among their peers.

• Published in 2005, Intensive Behavioral Treatment for children with Autism: Four-Year Outcome and Predictors, Sallows and Graupner found that 48 percent of all children showed rapid learning, achieved average post-treatment scores, and at age 7, were succeeding in regular education classrooms.
