Edited 8192023First of allDemarr Alyssa and Brittany and probably a couple others are employees and are definitely Team Project Mind and the review is not accurate because they will be biased. If I finish these reviews Im certain there are more. The staff is a never ending revolving door.Inconsistent is an understatement. 5 BCBAs in two years is bad practice. The only time things are consistent is when Leigh is in charge but shes got a bunch of young kids of her own and cant take many clients and shes only one person.RBTs Thats a joke my son has not had a consistent one since over a year ago when his primary RBT left. Matter of fact she and Brittany came from Hamilton center together.Once I placed him in the afternoon half day it got so much worse. I dont think he actually had a BCBA for a while.Save yourself the headache especially if your kid is non verbal. Youll NEVER truly know what is happening to them inside ANY center. My sons experience had just a few hiccups until the past year when he switched to the after school program. Putting him in school when I did because he was going to turn 7 in kindergarten after waiting for a homeschool experience and program that never happened within this center.Items they have in place get broken and not replaced even the glass door thats been broken two months about and regulation trampoline. I was offered IEP support that never occurred.Crisis lockdowns without even letting parents know maybe we should pickup our kids. Ive had sessions cancelled while en route but if you dont cancel theres a charge.I truly did my child a disservice by giving them free reign over the last two years of the most delicate developmental years of my sons life.Trauma based alright for a little kid with nothing but aggressive teens in afternoon and a BCBA who admits they didnt know hed been with them that is the trauma. I did not know until someone else who didnt work there told me check on my son. Now no one gives me answers or footage but vilify my child when no one else who works with him gives ANY of the same reports.When you are stern and direct and ask for actual answers its seen as aggressive.We love your sonNo they do not. Yes he had a few kind gentle rbts but kind gentle doesnt mean probably trained.Weve had a few hiccups along the way but its going well. Staff is very accommodating and tight knit. My little guy loves it.

This place is a hot mess We took my child out of that place and Im upset with myself that it took us so long to do so. That place is inconsistent with everything they do and very unprofessional. Please do not trust this place to take care of your child. Also why are there new rbts every single day My childs Bcba quit because they were always stressed and told me they felt like my child would not thrive there. I would look elsewhere there are good aba clinics with people who actually care about your kids.

Ive been to a lot of ABA clinics and this is by far the worst one weve gone to. If your child has bad behaviors than run as fast as you can from here because they make any excuse to send the child home

Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
responding to questions
starting or ending conversation
changing conversation topics
using gestures like pointing
understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
Forming speech in a clearer way
Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
Understanding and responding to questions
Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
Noticing and understanding body language
Feeding and swallowing
Stuttering
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Using principles of ABA, children and adults can learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. The primary goal of ABA therapy is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
It's a big decision to make for your family! Applied behavior analysis (ABA) seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. Watch out for ABA providers who look to "cure" autism.
High quality ABA therapy does exist where the goal is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. The goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. Here's our complete guide to start and end ABA therapy.
ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively.
Always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
“Early Intervention” might be the provider’s way of describing services that they provide to babies or young children. However, it might also indicate that the provider is a vendor for your state’s publicly funded program. This means the services with this provider might be covered by your state!
The first step in accessing these free services from your state is to get an evaluation. The evaluation will help the state determine what services your child qualifies for, if any. You can find your state’s local EI program by clicking here.
When you contact your local center, say “I have concerns about my child’s development and I would like to have my child evaluated to find out if they are eligible for early intervention services.” They will ask screening questions and arrange for an evaluation, which is provided for free.
Here are a few alternative options to consider:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps by identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It's useful for those dealing with social anxiety or difficulties. CBT addresses cognitive patterns and provides strategies to manage social challenges.
Group therapy: Group therapy offers a supportive space where individuals can practice social skills. They can feedback from peers and a therapist. It allows interaction with others who understand and learn from each other.
Play-based interventions: Play therapy or play-based interventions work well for younger children or those who learn through experiences. Play activities target specific social skills like turn-taking and problem-solving in a safe and engaging setting.
