At The Place for Children with Autism, we celebrate the uniqueness of each child. We believe that not all children learn the same way and that learning is not a one size fits all endeavor.
Our Autism Therapy Services
The Place for Children with Autism provides comprehensive autism therapy using Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA therapy. Our program focuses on increasing communication levels, improving social skills, and developing independent living skills for children with autism ages 2 – 6.
The goal of our ABA therapy program is to prepare your child for the transition into a traditional school setting by reducing specific challenging behaviors that interfere with learning or developing interpersonal relationships, and by increasing skills to help your child succeed.
Custom Treatment Plan for Your Child’s Unique Needs
Every child in our program receives a comprehensive, personalized autism assessment prior to treatment. Based on the autism assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan, focusing on outcomes like toileting, improving communication, and developing social skills. The specific goals will depend on your child’s unique needs.
Approximately every six months, we will reassess your child, allowing our clinicians to observe changes, review progress with you, and target areas that may still need improvement.

Our Approach to ABA Therapy
We set individualized goals for each child to be addressed during group therapy sessions as well as one-on-one direct therapy provided by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). The RBT collects data during therapy and reports to the Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). That data is then used to assess progress and make adjustments to therapy as necessary.
Based on the goals laid out in the individualized treatment plan, our clinicians focus on principles like positive reinforcement to encourage positive behaviors and increase the likelihood that your child will want to repeat those behaviors. To get the best outcomes, ABA therapy activities take place in a structured setting which mimics a school setting. Additionally, your family will receive training to maintain a similar structure at home.
Family Support Services
Family training and education plays an important role in our ABA therapy model, ensuring the skills taught at our centers are consistent at home and in community environments. The Place will work with your family to help you better prepare for your role in your child’s development as well as addressing quality-of-life goals and needs you may have.

Our trained staff utilizes numerous assessment tools to pinpoint your child’s current capabilities. Once we have identified your child’s current behavioral and academic levels, we then develop individualized programs to meet his or her needs. These programs are then carefully monitored using our customized software programs. As your child advances we adjust the programs accordingly. As a parent, you are also able to monitor your child’s progress by logging into her or his individualized programs.
