What Treatment Approach is Used?
We evaluate your child's presenting concerns from a behavioral approach using empirically-supported assessments to understand and effectively reduce any problem behaviors and teach new behaviors that lead to improved functioning. We collect data on your child's behavior before, during, and after treatment to objectively assess the effectiveness of your child’s specific treatment. We work collaboratively with pediatric medicine to assess and treat your child's presenting concerns when appropriate. We work with parents, teachers, and other caregivers to understand the child’s behavior and effectively manage it in the home, school, and community settings. We provide follow-up care to ensure your child continues to meet his or her goals over time and to ensure you have the appropriate skills to maintain desired behavior change.

What Type of Services are Offered?
