Verbal Behavior Clinic

We work with children ages 2yr – 10yr who are on the autism spectrum of disorders, PDD, AD/HD, appositionally defiant disorder, and typically-developing children with language, social skill deficit, and reading difficulties. Offering individual 1:1 discrete trial training, Verbal Behavior Training, Natural Environment Training, and Social Skills Play Groups.

We bring your child together with typically-developing peers as role models of use of language and play skills; verbal behavior training  teaches key pivotal response of “self-regulation” resulting in diminished aggression/tantrums, stimming, repetitive behaviors that impede acceptance/mainstreaming in  the schools.

We train Parents and Teachers in the application of behavioral principles. Now offering language to literacy program: SciLearn’s Fast ForWord instruction.  We utilize the VB-MAPP Protocol for assessments. Workshops on behavior management are available on request.   Art Therapy and Animal-assisted Therapy are provided.
