Our Services
Research-Based Intervention
The Integrative Methods team works in the client's natural settings, such as their home, school, workplace, or other community setting.
We work with individuals of varying ages from babies and toddlers to young adults.
Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis, also known as ABA, utilizes a systematic approach on maximizing learning and reducing inappropriate behaviors. Therapy can focus on teaching a new skill, such as functional language or academic-related skills, and reducing interfering negative behaviors by teaching effective and adaptive ones. With a compassionate approach, we collaborate with the caretakers and individual to design each intervention unique to the person. We integrate a structured teaching methodology while emphasizing natural environment learning as all of our interventions occur in the home, school, or in the community. Formal assessments precede intervention.
Occupational Therapy
OT is a health profession that focuses on improving an individual’s ability to perform everyday tasks that are important and meaningful to the them thereby enhancing their quality of life. Our OT's can help in the areas of sensory integration, social and play skills, attention, cognition, perceptual and motor tasks such as handwriting and coordination, emotional and psycho-social skills, and self-care as well as adapting tasks or materials to facilitate participation, promote success, and increase independence.
