ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Therapy uses behavior analysis to identify habits and uses positive reinforcement to reduce harmful behaviors for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
The children with ASD will undergo an assessment supervised by BCBA to analyze behaviors. The behaviors and the factors that influence that specific behavior will be identified, and a personalized therapy program will be created for each child by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
The therapy program’s most important goals are developing language, communication, and social skills and improving focus, memory, and positive behavior changes.
Empower provides speech therapy and language therapy based on the assessment of professional Speech-Language Pathologists authorized by the state. We provide personalized treatment based on the needs of your child after assessing their speech and communication disorders.
For children with language disorders and struggle to understand and express language, the therapy may be individual or group activities to make language fun ad easy to learn.
For children with speech disorders, SLP’s will use exercises tailored based on detailed analysis of behavior. They may include activities like practicing sounds and pronunciation.
There are also oral-motor/ feeding and swallowing therapy techniques like facial massage, tongue, lip, and jaw exercises.
Occupational Therapy for children diagnosed with Spectrum disorders improves attention span, stamina, response to stimuli, motor skills like posture, balance, and object manipulation. Occupational therapy will foster the following daily life skills like toilet training, cleaning, dressing, brushing teeth, and other grooming skills.
