Assent and dignity are the foundation of ethical, trauma-informed ABA.
Respect willingness and teach regulation.
Compassion isn’t a trend. It’s the standard. 💛

Our mission at Achieving Collaborative Treatment (ACT) is to provide top-tier behavior analytic services to individuals with autism and their families. We work collaboratively with families and schools to design and implement an individualized age-appropriate treatment plan for each client. Our goal is to help clients develop independence in living skills, social skills and manage episodes of challenging behaviors. We prioritize family members as integral partners in the teaching process.
-
ACT believes high-quality behavior analytic services can greatly improve the quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families. We are committed to providing services to all children and adults who require specialized teaching and advocate for all individuals to receive services through Medical Assistance or personal insurance.
-
ACT believes in a client and family centered approach focusing on each family’s goals and priorities. ACT also believes that learning across the life span should be enjoyable and whenever possible, fun. ABA is a science that can be applied with rigor but also with compassion and playfulness. We strive for our clients to look forward to time with their team and for parents to feel supported and included.

Sticker charts are a great visual for kids to earn something big!
Don’t forget to add both text and a picture of what the goal is.
Make the goals achievable. Don’t add too many boxes to be filled.
It’s ok if stickers aren’t earned as well, it’s a great opportunity to really reinforce positive things next time.
