Children with autism require specialized services that cater to their unique needs. We understand that it can be challenging for parents to manage the needs and behavior of children who have this condition. This is why we make sure that while we are here to provide their children the support that they deserve, we also educate parents and other care providers the proper ways to address their overall needs in various situations. To determine what their needs are, we start our services by conducting an assessment of the child’s behavior through observation and consulting parents’ opinions about their children’s areas of improvement.
We use the following in treatment:
Treatment goals are written based on the age and ability level of the person with ASD. Goals can include many different skill areas, such as:
- Communication and language
- Social skills
- Self-care (such as showering and toileting)
- Play and leisure
- Motor skills
- Learning and academic skills
The instruction plan breaks down each of these skills into small, concrete steps. The therapist teaches each step one by one, from simple (e.g. imitating single sounds) to more complex (e.g. carrying on a conversation).
The BCBA and therapists measure progress by collecting data in each therapy session. Data helps them to monitor the person’s progress toward goals on an ongoing basis.
The behavior analyst regularly meets with family members and program staff to review information about progress. They can then plan ahead and adjust teaching plans and goals as needed.
