BSP offers services and supports founded on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with a focus on Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT). Individuals from 1 year of age through adulthood who face the challenge of autism and other developmental disabilities are provided individualized assessments and proven, data driven interventions to meet the unique needs of each child and family. Parents are taught to implement teaching strategies during the natural routines of family life. Services also available in our clinic, at school and in the community. Other services include Speech Consultation and Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy and Consultation. For families located outside our service areas, we offer remote ABA training/treatment programs.
