Community-Based Services
Our community-based services are designed to help children with autism successfully navigate real-world environments such as grocery stores, parks, restaurants, and other public spaces. These services ensure that children can apply their learned skills in everyday situations, creating more opportunities for independence and social integration.
Example Scenarios
- Helping a child cope with sensory sensitivities in environments with loud noises or crowded spaces.
- Teaching children how to manage social interactions in public, such as greeting others or waiting in lines.
- Supporting families in navigating restaurants or other community-based activities.
What to Expect
- Real-World Focus: We target practical, everyday scenarios that many families find challenging, providing support where it’s needed most.
- Individualized Interventions: Each community-based intervention is tailored to the child’s specific needs, focusing on behaviors that may arise in public settings.
- In-the-Moment Support: ABA supervisors and RBTs accompany families during these outings, offering real-time guidance and support to help manage challenges as they occur.
How Treatment Process Works
Our treatment process is designed to ensure that each child receives a personalized, comprehensive approach to their care. From the initial assessment to continuous progress monitoring, we focus on understanding and addressing the unique needs of each child and family.
Assessment and Evaluation
The process begins with a thorough evaluation, including interviews with parents or caregivers, record reviews, and functional behavior assessments. This helps us gain a deep understanding of the child’s strengths, challenges, and goals. The evaluation is key to identifying the best course of action for each individual child.
Individualized Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, we develop a customized ABA treatment plan tailored to the child’s specific needs and goals. The plan outlines targeted interventions, skill-building activities, and behavior management strategies designed to help the child progress in areas such as communication, social interaction, and daily living skills.
Progress Monitoring
We continuously track the child’s progress using data collection and analysis. Regular updates are shared with the family, ensuring they are informed and involved throughout the treatment process. This allows us to adjust the treatment plan as needed, ensuring the child is always on a path toward success.
Transition Planning
After two consecutive six-month intervals of ABA services, we’ll identify, review, and discuss transition objectives. We establish a timeline for adjusting services for both parent training and direct therapy, evaluated during the child’s six-month review. Additionally, we assess progress toward goals and objectives to determine the effectiveness of the current treatment in meeting the needs of both the child and the family.
