We’re excited to help a group of kiddos get ready for school this summer, and have a lot of fun along the way! ☀️
Our BCBAs and graduate students had the opportunity to attend the BAAM Conference at Eastern Michigan University this week! Conferences like this are a valuable way for our team to stay current on research, best practices, and innovative strategies in the field of behavior analysis. We even had the chance to reconnect with former colleagues and see some familiar faces along the way! 💙

☀️ We know many families are starting to plan for summer — and we’re already receiving inquiries about our Summer Program!
The Spark Center for Autism offers a 6-week summer program that is separate from our year-round therapeutic services. Because we continue our regular services throughout the summer, this program is intentionally kept small and space will be limited.
Stay tuned — more details are coming next week!

The Behavior Health Center of Excellence® (BHCOE®) is an international accrediting body created to meet accreditation needs specific to the delivery of behavior analysis. The BHCOE’s accreditation requirements undergo regular review according to international standards for organizations that grant accreditation. All BHCOE requirements and survey content are reviewed annually by content experts.

The SPARK Center was the first center to receive this respected accreditation in the state of Michigan and are one of only five in the state with the more prestigious (and difficult to earn) 2 year accreditation!
Dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, the Spark Center for Autism provides early intervention based on the principles of applied behavior analysis.
At the Spark Center, our primary goal is to increase functional skills and decrease behaviors that negatively impact daily living. We believe that the best outcomes are achieved by tailoring interventions to the individual based on their specific needs. We believe in working with families to share and teach these principles in order to help enhance the lives of the children and their families.
At the Spark Center, we believe we have a responsibility to uphold best practice which means only using interventions that are validated in current research.
