Play-Based Therapy

Play helps autistic children learn new skills by providing a natural and engaging way to explore the world around them. Through play a child can develop crucial social, communication, and behavioral skills in a non-threatening environment. Play encourages creativity and problem-solving. Play also makes learning accessible and more enjoyable while building skills in all areas of development.  

Caregiver Support and Education

Caregiver support and training is done in-home, in the community, or telehealth. Our clinicians use Behavioral Skills Training to help provide instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback with the caregiver and child in a naturalistic setting. Caregiver support and training is designed to equip and empower the caregiver to be able to provide better outcomes for the child. Caregivers contribute valuable insights to help design individual interventions for their child. This collaboration ensures the strategies are practical and applicable in daily life. When caregivers are involved the client is more likely to experience positive behavioral changes. This can enhance the child's quality of life, independence, and ability to engage meaningfully with their environment.
