Journey Center

Supporting families and children in their journey with Autism. Services Offered: ABA Treatment (2-18 years), Speech Therapy, Parent Training.

Our center is a place where children will have fun, be valued, and treated with respect and dignity. We assess what children enjoy and use those items or activities to teach and motivate a child to work through a task that is difficult to learn. We focus on the prerequisites to education and the necessary skills children need to function as independently as possible in their natural environment with minimal to no lifetime supports. When assessment reveals that a child displays developmental delays we write an individualized treatment plan, teach them skills that they are lacking in a systematic way, monitor their progress through data collection, and provide multiple opportunities to practice those skills. Support is provided as the child generalizes skills into the natural environment and reaches independence. If a child displays behaviors that impede their learning or interfere with life within the family, we assess why they are engaging in those behaviors and teach replacement skills so that children can be successful in all environments. At the Journey Center, we first teach the learner a functional way to communicate. Communication is key to learning and is a primary focus so that a child can interact with family and friends in a meaningful way. Once this is established, we teach social skills, daily living skills, and academics.
