We are excited to announce the opening of the Children’s Autism Program through the Burkhart Center!

The program provides focused Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) services supervised by a BCBA. Treatment includes minimizing challenging behavior and maximizing social and/or adaptive skills in a specific area.

Treatment is limited to 180 hours within a 12-month period and a maximum of 720 hours during the child’s lifetime.

A child is eligible for treatment if the child:
• Has a documented diagnosis on the autism spectrum made by a qualified professional.
• Is 3 to 15 years old (services end on the child’s 16th birthday).
• Is a Texas resident.

Teachers from across West Texas gathered at the Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research summer seminar to enhance how they interact with students.

The training emphasized communication techniques and allowed instructors to practice skills and receive immediate feedback from Burkhart faculty and research assistants. The week was equally beneficial to parents as well.

“What you learn at the communications camp goes far beyond that one week. We can't put a value on what this means as parents to get the education offered at the Burkhart Center.”
