There are many benefits to Clinic-Based Services:
- Children are matched by age and level of functioning for socialization opportunities and peer play.
- The structure of the day mirrors that of a classroom, teaching skills for school readiness, with routines and expectations that will be required once the child enters school full time.
- The center offers a perfect setting for generalization, allowing children to use acquired skills in a new environment with various staff and peers.
- Natural Environment Teaching (NET) is incorporated into the sessions by targeting preferred actions or activities and embedding goals into those opportunities. Motivation is key!
- Goals taught in a highly structured predicable environment where skills are acquired without distractions often occurring in the home.
- Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are in the center, supervising, modeling and mentoring to maximize client progress.
- Children have opportunities to engage with new toys and materials.
