Individualized

Your child is unique and therefore we believe it is our job to design a behavior intervention treatment plan that is individualized to your child’s specific needs. Our Behavior Analysts continually assess each child’s needs and use Guiding Light's extensive curriculum objectives to create a specialized program for each child.​

Research-based

Given the importance of early intervention, we are committed to using proven, evidence-based ABA interventions to ensure that each child progresses at the fastest rate possible. We do this by ensuring the strategies and interventions we employ are backed by rigorous research and that they have been proven effective by the most experienced practitioners and specialists in the field of ABA.

Comprehensive

Our highly skilled staff members are trained in a wide range of ABA methods so that they have many options to find the intervention that works best to meet your child’s specific needs. Also, our curriculum includes over one thousand lessons that can be customized to teach children with autism and other disabilities the new skills they may need across numerous developmental areas.

Data-Driven Progress

Here at Guiding Light, we understand the importance of taking data on your child’s progress. Measuring your child’s progress with data collection is the best way to prevent time from being wasted, since data show all team members exactly when your child is ready to move on in the behavior intervention plan.​

Professionally Trained Staff

At Guiding Light, we believe in providing extensive training to our staff so that they have the skills they need to effectively help children with a range of behavior challenges. Our behavior technicians receive initial, in-office instruction and practice in autism, ABA methods, data collection, and ethical issues. Additionally, our behavior technicians have completed competency-based training in which they accurately and independently implemented these ABA methods. All our behavior technicians have also passed both written and field evaluations demonstrating their proficiency with understanding and using these techniques.

Parent Involvement

As a parent, you know your child the best, which is why we welcome parent input and feedback regarding your child’s ABA program.​​

Team Approach

In our intensive ABA treatment programs, multiple family members, behavior technicians, school staff, and related professionals (e.g., speech therapists, occupational therapists, etc.) need to meet to review data on your child’s progress to update the behavior intervention plan. Guiding Light runs these team meetings with your student’s behavior intervention team in order to promote consistency of the ABA intervention across all team members.​

Collaborative

Through on-going collaboration, Guiding Light promotes the integration of ABA methods across all professionals working with your child. Moreover, collaboration provides an opportunity for other professionals to share important information with the behavior intervention team.
