We are a medical clinic specializing in behavioral health for a specific client population. We work to improve the lives of children with autism and other behavior disorders ranging from mild to severe. The type of therapy we provide is called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is a form of therapy based on the science of learning and behavior in which a primary strategy is the use of positive reinforcement. Scientific principles govern and inform our practice. Among the many goals we have for our clients are to increase language and communication skills, develop and improve social and life skills, and decrease negative behaviors.
