The Autism Center's early intervention program implements best-practice strategies based on applied behavior analysis(ABA) and developmental and structured teaching approaches including discrete trial training, pivotal response training, TEACCH, and picture-exchange communication.

Early intervention services are available for children from birth to seven years of age, at which time families are transitioned to appropriate services either within or outside of the Autism Center. We utilize a variety of empirically supported intervention techniques to help children strengthen their skills in the following areas: language, communication, academics, play, imitation, self help, and social/emotional regulation. Individualized programs are developed for children based on their existing skill levels, current needs, and parents' input.
