Center-Based Early Intervention Comprehensive Autism Services
Verbal Beginnings Centers (VBC’s) house our early intervention services, feeding therapy, social skills and after school programs, as well as speech therapy and occupational therapy at select locations. We also love offering additional events and activities at our centers such as workshops, Family Night Out, and Trunk or Treat!
Putting Children First
Our centers are built around the kids! Each of our spaces offers an enriched social environment with highly trained RBTs and BCBAs with a focus on 1:1 support for both individualized therapy as well as group instruction. What else is important to our therapy model? Peer interaction! This part of each child’s treatment plan is all about creating social opportunities with peers to promote the critical skills necessary for children to excel in a variety of social settings.
Caregiver collaboration is also an integral part of each child’s progress. BCBAs meet with each family regularly to share progress and discuss ways to generalize treatment in the home. We also have digital tools to help share progress with families so you can see the amazing things happening as we work with your son or daughter each day!
Verbal Beginnings Centers offer a unique opportunity for each child to work with dedicated RBTs, BCBAs and program coordinators. This team approach provides the foundation for your child to generalize new skills and is the most effective way to deliver therapy.
