Our Services

Along with early learning we focus on behavioral and mental health. This promotes a more comprehensive approach to care for children and families. Developmental screening is the first step in recognizing intrinsic, unexpressed behaviors that may delay the
progress of a child. Screening is not meant to establish a diagnosis, but rather help professionals determine whether more in-depth assessments are the next step. In most cases, screening rules out the likelihood that further assessment is needed. Using a high-quality developmental screening tool like the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3), professionals can screen children for delays accurately and cost-effectively. Our professionals and resources will be located on site so that it is a hassle-free experience. We normally screen within the first 30 days of a child’s enrollment and continue with ongoing assessments.

Autism Assessments

Children with autism who receive Autism Treatment/ABA Therapy will be assessed initially and once every 6 months while they are receiving Autism Treatment. Following each assessment period, an individualized treatment plan will be developed along with collaboration with parents. One assessment that may be utilized is called the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP). This assessment measures the language, learning, and social skills of children with autism. The assessment determines each student’s strengths, areas of need and determines which skills to focus on in treatment. Children receiving ABA Therapy will have a treatment plan individualized to meet their needs. Another assessment that may be used is called the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, Third Edition (ABAS-3). This Assessment is a rating scale useful for assessing skills of daily living. If this assessment is used, it is only used once every year and will help identify strengths and areas of need regarding adaptive/daily living skills.
