Consistent, predictable programming designed specifically to meet the needs of boys with spectrum disorders
Our approach coordinates therapies that address three core symptoms of spectrum disorders: communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and social skills. Our program builds on established interests, offers a predictable schedule, teaches tasks as a series of simple steps, provides structured activities, and offers consistent and timely reinforcement of behavior.
- social skills training teaches the skills needed to interact more successfully with other people;
- cognitive behavioral therapy helps to manage emotions and reduce obsessive interests and repetitive routines;
- medication may be indicated for co-existing conditions such as depression or anxiety;
- physical activities develop sensory integration and motor coordination; and
- parent training and support teaches parents behavioral techniques to use at home
