The mission of our day treatment is to offer an alternative learning environment for children with special needs.  The Children’s Autism Center is committed to providing only the highest quality services in every area.

 

Our day treatment is designed for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, PDD-NOS, or other behavioral and learning difficulties from early childhood to 2nd grade.  Using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), our dedicated and trained staff will teach communication, cognitive, social, academic, adaptive and motor skills in a fun and loving environment.  Our program is driven by:

 

• Low teacher to student ratio

• Year round program

• Scientifically-validated teaching methods

• Verbal Behavior approach

• Targeting to address specific parent goals and expectations

• Group and individual teaching

• Taught and overseen by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA)

• Teachers trained in ABA and Verbal Behavior

• Individualized education

• Ongoing teacher and parent training

• Structured and natural environment teaching

• Data driven

 

We use a wide variety of proven instructional methods based on the principles of ABA.  The techniques used include errorless learning, discrete trial teaching, prompting, prompt-fading, fluency training, and natural environment training.  Our programs provide a high level of positive reinforcement to keep learning fun and motivating.  We maintain a low teacher to student ratio (1:1 or 1:2) to ensure ample direct instruction.

 

Individual education goals are set for each student and reviewed and updated quarterly.   Click on a topics below to learn more.
