Our Strategy
Collaborating with families to minimize problematic and challenging behaviors, while modeling and encouraging new and positive ones defines the core of our strategies. We work hard to maximize your child’s ability to be the best version of themselves, demonstrating ideal and socially appropriate interactions.
Successful therapy is achieved through a series of scientifically proven learned behavior modification strategies, which are taught to each child. While there is no one size fits all tactic, research and development has advanced significantly resulting in endless solutions, all taught to our board certified experts. Your child’s assessment and plan of care will be extremely specific. Furthermore, your child will work with one of our expert Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) to execute the agreed upon plan and begin a new and favorable journey for everyone involved.
Our model is tailored to best meet the patient and caregiver’s needs in whatever setting that is. Therapy can be at their school, home, the child’s PPEC or a combination of these locations. Once enrolled in our behavioral therapy program, your child can also receive other therapies as needed. These include physical, occupational, speech and feeding, art and music therapy. They can also take advantage of our private round trip transportation as well as our academic and after school programs.

What We Do
Our program begins with an evaluation conducted by a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA). It details your child’s medical history, current situation, behaviors, lifestyle and habits. We collaborate with the caregiver to identify unfavorable behaviors that usually stem from their diagnoses and implement specific strategies to correct those behaviors in a timely and consistent manner.
Based on this evaluation, we pride ourselves on a seamless pairing process with the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) that will conduct therapy daily with your child. Communication among BCBA, RBT and the parent or caregiver plays an imperative role in the patient’s progress. We constantly provide Behavioral Therapy Training for parents and encourage the maximum amount of communication possible. The more we know, the more we can help and work toward our common goals.
One Stop – One Solution
We understand that transporting your child from center to center to receive therapies can be cumbersome, and is not feasible for working parents or parents with multiple children. This is why we have created this all- inclusive model where your child cannot only receive all their therapies, but also be transported safely to and from their center school or home. Furthermore, by implementing this comprehensive solutions, our therapists are able to work together on the patients progress, exchange ideas and suggestions and make therapy a more productive time for the child.
