Our Workshop Consultation Program
allows experienced supervisory staff to travel to the family's
home to set up an individualized program to meet the child's needs.
All programs follow the same curriculum as our Wisconsin programs.
All children in our program receive individualized treatment in
their homes to meet their needs under the supervision of experienced
clinical staff. Workshop Leaders are professionals from our Wisconsin
clinics who have extensive training and experience in ABA programming.
These clinicians have met our standards for excellence in clinical
and administrative practice qualifying them to provide consultation
to families outside
Wisconsin. During an initial workshop and through regular visits,
the Workshop Leader trains the family and therapy team to implement
curriculum using behavioral interventions which form the basis
of Lovaas' approach: the use of discrete trials, positive reinforcement,
extinction, prompting, shaping and programming for generalization.
In addition, a variety of other treatment approaches and strategies
may be used to teach specific skills when appropriate for individual
children.
Children are eligible for our Workshop Consultation Model
if they are under the age of eight, have a diagnosis of an Autism
Spectrum Disorder, and do not have complicating medical conditions
that would hinder progress in the treatment program. In addition,
families must submit recent testing for their children in the areas
of cognition, language and adaptive skills. All applications and
related testing reports are reviewed by our Psychologists prior
to acceptance into our program.
It is important to remember that the window of opportunity for
children to make significant outcome changes is limited. Each child
gets on chance to change, grow and learn. The most critical
choice that families will make in pursuing treatment is choosing
a program with the expertise and staff to take their children to
the best outcome they can achieve. These years cannot be recaptured.
We remain committed
to providing the highest quality therapy driven by scientific research
that is currently available anywhere in the world, and will do
our
best to ensure that every child makes the best possible outcome.
