Evaluations and Assessments
We provide a wide variety of developmental skills tests, social skills and behavior scales. Results and reports can be informative and very helpful in seeking medical/mental health professionals to obtain the most appropriate and effective care. These results may shed light on potential developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, etc.
Some evaluations offered include, but are not limited to:
Please note that we do not provide diagnoses, however, results of this assessment are commonly shared with, or given to, the client's physician or psychologist in order for them to make a diagnosis, as appropriate.

ABA Therapy: 1:1/Individual sessions
ABA therapy sessions are individual sessions that may occur in the home, clinic, and/or community setting, with a Behavior Therapist and the supervising Licensed Behavior Analyst. Sessions provide a positive learning experience for clients to acquire new skills, while it appears and feels like leisure or playtime. This encourages natural responses and helps development of skills using the client’s interests. (Please note: We have a waitlist for ABA therapy, however, stand-alone assessments and enrollment in social groups/clubs are more likley to have earlier openings.)
Social Skills: Individual and Group settings
Our clients may learn new skills in small groups with same aged peers to include:
basic communication and language, social awareness, school readiness behaviors and toleration and navigation through social barriers, which can naturally occur in groups and among friends.
