Our Services

Commitment
As with any behavioral treatment program, the child’s ultimate success is highly dependent on the commitment of the child’s entire family to adhere to the treatment plan and perhaps undergo considerable changes in lifestyle. Parents must be prepared to invest significant portions of time practicing skills with the child and or collecting data. Data collection alone can span several weeks before and after the implementation of treatment.
