Positive Behavior Support.
This program is designed for individuals of all ages, reinforcing positive behaviors and building essential life skills. Through evidence-based strategies, we foster personal growth, resilience, and overall well-being, empowering individuals to thrive in their daily lives.
ABA Therapy
Our team utilizes principles of ABA to create individualized plans that promote positive behavior and skill development. This therapy addresses a wide range of behavioral challenges. As a team, we work collaboratively with families to implement effective strategies that support growth.
Occupational Therapy
The goal of occupational therapy is to help people improve their everyday skills so they can be more independent and participate in a variety of activities. OT programs for people with autism or adults with developmental disabilities frequently concentrate on gross and fine motor skills, learning strategies, and self-care. Sensory issues can also be managed with OT strategies.
Occupational therapy strategies can include:
- Training & modifications for independent living skills.
- Motor development and ability to plan motor movements.
- Sensory integration and sensory-based strategies.
- Positive mental health strategies.
- Social-emotional development and self-regulation strategies and programs.
- Behavioral approaches in collaboration with team members to support participation.
- Social participation activities.
- Participation in play and/or leisure activities.
- Cognitive-behavioral approaches that support positive behaviors.
- Schedules, timers, and video modeling are examples of visual aids.
- Technology recommendations in education and work activities.

Optometry
Members bring in prescriptions for contact lenses or eyeglasses to our optometrist. Members’ faces and eyes, including the distance between their pupils, should be measured. This is critical for ensuring proper eyeglass fit and assisting members in selecting eyeglass frames and lenses. Members may require specialized eyewear for sports, occupational use, or different tints and anti-reflective coatings. Write work orders for laboratory technicians and give them the information they need to make new lenses. They work with members to ensure that their eyeglasses fit properly and that their frames are repaired and replaced as needed, as well as to educate them about their eyewear and how to care for their contact lenses.
