Autism Concepts Incorporated

Autism Concepts is a team of professionals that excel in providing evidence-based interventions for children on the Autism Spectrum. The director is a BCBA; Board Certified Behavior Analyst with years of teaching experience. We provide clinic based one on one direct instruction utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis Verbal Behavior for children of all ages with ASD.

The ABLLS-R, The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised and The VB-MAPP, The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program are used to set up individualized language-enriched programs. The child’s motivations and strengths form the foundation of the Verbal Behavior program to increase areas in need of remediation.

Children are actively engaged throughout their sessions to increase and maintain interest. ITT (Intensive Teaching Trials) and NET (Natural Environment Training) are incorporated to plan for generalization of all skills. Our expertise also includes using evidence-based social scripts and visual play scripts to teach children how to interact with their peers and learn cooperative play.

Our philosophy includes training parents and family members to utilize ABA Verbal Behavior. We teach parents how to incorporate behavioral principles and procedures in the home setting. Parents are taught to identify ‘functions’ of behavior and how to resolve behavior issues as they occur.

Evidence-based Preschool Social Skills are held weekly. Small group instruction with typical peers enables children with ASD to practice play and social skills. Language and communication are the primary focus throughout every session.
