We provide intensive behavioral and language based therapies for children diagnosed with Autism and other Pervasive Developmental Disorders. We are committed to helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder reach their potential.
We strive to give children the basic learning repertoires that all children need.
We are especially skilled in helping young children with the potential to achieve independent functioning in a general education setting achieve that goal.
Treatment averages 20 - 40 hours of direct intervention per week to reflect the individual child's needs and current research findings (e.g., Lovaas, 1987, Howard, Sparkman, Cohen, Green, & Stanislaw, 2005, Sallows & Graupner, 2006). Structured peer interactions are usually part of every child's program by the end of the first year of treatment. Children who learn in small group educational settings are "shadowed" by an Instructional Assistant into play groups, preschool, kindergarten, or first grade to help maximize progress in these challenging environments.
Treatment intensity reflect evidence-based practice as well as the fact that children with developmental delays must learn at a faster-than-normal rate if they are to begin to catch up to their typically developing same age peers. To reach this goal the children with delays must achieve more than one month's growth for every month spent in treatment.
Early intensive intervention programs based in the child's home are available throughout the California Central Valley from Sacramento to Merced. The Kendall Schools in Modesto, Tracy, and Elk Grove provide intensive center-based intervention.
