Description

Our Autism Services Program uses a comprehensive approach to behavior therapy for children with Autism to achieve successful outcomes that increase your child’s independence.

Program Goals

At UCP Heartland, we believe every child deserves a happy, successful life. That’s why our Autism Services Program uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles in all aspects of your child’s development to provide high-quality therapy that builds confidence, independence, and growth in a supportive environment.

  • Natural Environment Teaching
  • Verbal Behavior
  • Toilet Training
  • Feeding Programs
  • Group Learning

Program Achievements

We love to celebrate the strides our youngest clients are making with our autism services. Check out these recent cheer-worthy achievements:

  • Two previously non-verbal children are now effectively using communication devices!
  • Another child has progressed from making single-word requests to forming three-word sentences!

How Our Program Works

Our team gives 110% to every child in our program and is committed to their success and helping them reach their full potential.

A Tailored Approach to Growth

Before therapy begins, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your child’s strengths and challenges. From there, we create individualized treatment goals designed to build meaningful skills for long-term success.

Family Centered Support

Both you and our caregivers are essential members of your child’s therapy team. We encourage your active involvement and respect your family’s unique culture and values, ensuring a collaborative and supportive approach.

Ongoing Evaluation & Expert Guidance

Our dedicated team, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), continuously monitors progress, adjusting your child’s treatment as needed to maximize its effectiveness.

Your child’s therapy can take place in our clinic, at your home, or in the community—wherever best supports your child’s needs.

A Team Effort for Lasting Impact

We work closely with your child’s full team of teachers, therapists, medical professionals, and case managers to ensure seamless, coordinated care and share valuable information about their goals and objectives, methods, and successes. Your child deserves compassionate, high-quality support, and at UCP Heartland, we are committed to helping them thrive.
