We create tailored, comprehensive care plans that allow children to achieve their maximum potential.
Because the early years of a child’s life are critical in brain development, it is vital for parents and providers to understand the available evidence based practices, such as Applied Behavior Analysis, and the appropriate service options and treatment settings available.
Natural Environment Teaching uses a child’s preferred activities to teach foundational skills. For young children, this is play. Our clinical staff are trained to follow your child’s lead while they play with items and objects and use these as opportunities to teach important skills. For example, while playing with a toy as simple as a farm puzzle, we can teach many skills. Some of which include: pretend play, identifying and labeling the animals and their sounds, requesting more pieces, and turn taking. When new skills are taught using a child’s favorite toys the likelihood of retaining those skills improves.
Currently, we offer on-site diagnostic services in several of our regions. Please contact our Intake department to confirm if your region offers on-site diagnostic services or to request a list of diagnostic community partners in your area at (855) 295-3276 ext. 276.

It is possible, but you will need to contact your insurance plan. Many insurance providers do not approve more than one authorization for treatment in this area. Please check with your specific provider for their rules and guidelines.
In order for a child to make progress, family participation is a vital component. Your clinical team will recommend a level of participation they determine is necessary. We encourage parents to sit-in on sessions as often as they can. You are not required to participate in all ABA sessions, however, a caregiver over the age of 18 must be at home for the duration of each session. For clinic-based appointments, the child may be dropped off.
No. Your Behavior Technician can accompany your family for a clinically recommended trip in a family vehicle. BTs are prohibited from driving the child in any vehicle, even if a parent or guardian is present in the car.
We’re always looking for the best and brightest Behavioral Technicians, Behavioral Therapists, Board-Certified Behavior Analysts or “BCBAs”, office staff, and leadership. If you’re eager to join an industry leader in ABA autism therapies, we’re eager to meet you.
