While we serve learners with a wide range of abilities, our ultimate goal is always the same: to help children with autism reach their full potential based on their unique needs and strengths. Participation in school is a big part of overall success and greater independence. Therefore, we incorporate foundational pre-school and kindergarten activities like circle time, art, group play, and more into our daily schedule to help them be as prepared as possible to one day attend school.

Our Early Learners Treatment Program is a learning environment not only for children, but also for parents and staff. We look forward to partnering with you in your child’s development by providing:
• An open line of communication to your child’s treatment team.
• Initial evaluation and monthly reports to monitor your child’s progress.
• An expectation of parent involvement as a member of the treatment team.
• Mandatory parent workshops offered in the clinic each month.

Each individual with a disability is unique, and therefore, requires a comprehensive behavior support treatment plan that is individualized to their specific needs. Our BCBAs and therapy coaches regularly assess needs and use researched-based curriculum, in partnership with clients, to create individualized programs.
SBBC utilizes methodology from applied behavior analysis, such as self-management and self- monitoring, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Specific treatment modalities include value identification, mindfulness, student-led goal setting, active engagement, and tracking progress toward goals. SBBC also facilitates client identification of any problem behaviors that become roadblocks to success and empower learners to address them. Our highly skilled ABA therapy coaches possess the skills needed to effectively guide learners through this process and employ individualized interventions that work best for those served. Learners and ABA therapy coaches meet regularly, weekly or multiple times per week based on individual needs, in order to monitor progress toward goals. Student-led engagement in this process PAVES the way to their success.
