Behavior Therapy Clinic

About Behavior Therapy Clinic

Treatments and teaching strategies continually develop in the field of autism research. BTC stays at the forefront of new clinical, therapeutic and scientific advances in the field, while emphasizing mutual respect, trust and caring above all else. We provide a wide range of services for children with autism and their families, with treatment provided at home, in school and in the community. We emphasize parent training by teaching families how to manage problem behavior simultaneously with teaching your child functional and appropriate replacement skills. Our ongoing consultation services provide training to assist parents, teachers, classroom assistants, residential and day program staff for any needs that may subsequently arise. BTC offers a wide variety of services based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is the application of behavioral principles to solve problems of social significance. It is not just one procedure, but a comprehensive discipline in which treatments and strategies are individualized according to the child's specific needs and abilities. ABA has been proven to be the most effective intervention for individuals with Autism and other Developmental Disabilities according to the Surgeon General's Report and numerous empirically based research studies.
