Q. How is what you do different from other behavioral
     programs?

A. Our mission is to teach the family. In so doing, we help you
     learn the skills needed to think and problem solve on your
     feet when you need it most; during the daily interactions with
     your child.

    You also learn how to promote continuity among all of your
    child’s routine environments (home, school, therapy, etc...).
    Our philosophy is that children with ASD’s learn best when 
    all service providers, including family members, are working
    together in a structured, systematic way. We teach you how
    to incorporate all facets of your child’s therapeutic regimen
    (behavior, speech, OT, PT, cognitive skills, etc...) into
    comprehensive and fun activities that can be integrated into
    your everyday routines.

Q. Do you do therapy with my child?

A. No. We provide no direct therapy services.

Q. Then who actually works with my child?

A. We teach you, and any other persons designated by you
     (siblings, grandparents, babysitters) how to work with your
     child.  You are the most important and influential person in
     your child’s life. When you gain the knowledge to help your
     child, you become your child’s most priceless asset .

Q. How much do your services cost?

A. Our rates are highly individualized based on your wants
     and needs. We offer everything from month-to-month
     arrangements with no long-term obligation to 12 month
     retainers with monthly installments. We can be highly
     involved with every aspect of design, maintenance, and
     monitoring of your child’s program; or merely an
     occasional supplement to an existing program. With this
     in mind, our rates range from $100-$475 per month.


Q. I don't know where or how to begin. How do I get started?

A. Contact us through this web-site or by phone and we will set
    up a free consultation time. We will talk with you about your 
    concerns and together we will explore options that might 
    work for you and your family.
   
    We will then send a Family Support Plan for you to complete.
    This plan will help you identify your child's strengths,
    weaknesses, likes, and dislikes; as well as your hopes and
    expectations for your child. Gathering these thoughts on paper
    will help us develop a clearer picture of where we are going and 
    how we plan to get there by helping us understand how to motivate 
    your child as well as how to best maximize your family's existing 
    resources. 


Q. My child is totally out control and I feel overwhelmed. How
     on earth can I ever make a difference that matters?

A. You will be amazed at the kind of person you can become
    because of, not in spite of, your child. Our services are only as
    good as our ability to help you understand this concept. 

    We are here to help you when you struggle, to encourage you 
    when you falter, and to celebrate with you when you succeed.

    And, as always, our goal is to speak to you in practical terms 
    that you can use and understand.
