The Verbal Behavior Center for Autism



The Verbal Behavior Center for Autism

The VBCA is a not-for-profit center founded by a grassroots movement of parents with children with autism who saw only very limited options to treat their children.

The VBCA provides therapeutic services to children and families impacted by autism by promoting Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles and, specifically, verbal behavior therapy techniques. Children with autism undergoing this research-supported treatment have been known to show significant progress towards becoming normalized, or mainstreamed into society. The VBCA also offers consulting services in families homes.

The VBCA is committed to empowering family members to have a significant impact on autism. One way is through its commitment to outreach services for families with children with autism. Planned services include a chat room for families with children with autism, information on its web site and a hotline number to direct parents to resources. In time, the VBCA has plans to offer financial assistance for children with autism to attend the center.
