“Therapeutic autism - program was started in october 2014. The organization will provide a variety of in-home, direct services including applied behavior analysis, respite, habilitation, assessment and parent training. We will also provide center-based services including many of the same services plus training applicable in group environments such as social skills, work training programs, communications and others. All services will be provided by staff with a variety of credentials, depending on the services. We will be working primarily with children, ages 3 - 16 as an expansion of services already provided to clients in this age group. Overall, our plan is to provide wrap-around services in a continuum of care to meet the increasing needs of youth on the autism spectrum. This program will be an enhancement to the programs that we have historically provided in order to fill gaps in local community services. We will not be responding to medical referrals. Rather, we will be implementing programs based on needs in the community that have been identified through our community needs assessment and ongoing dialogue with families in our community. The program is still in the development stages and did not serve any participants as of june 30, 2015.”
