Research studies have shown the importance
of seeking treatment for autism as soon as a diagnosis is made. As the recognized treatment for autism spectrum disorders, ABA therapy is most effective early in a child's life while the brain is developing. If your child has any type of behavioral special need, they can benefit from therapy as young as 18 months old.
Interventions
Does your child find it difficult to interact with their peers? Do they struggle to make friends? If your child is school-aged, our Social Skills Group can help.
Children with autism and other developmental delays often need help learning how to connect with schoolmates and build meaningful relationships. Social Skills Group enables them to learn in a fun, low-pressure environment that also works to build their self-confidence.
Social Skills Group is therapy designed for school-aged children who need help making friends and other fulfilling connections. Mastering social skills, like responding appropriately to situations and empathizing with peers, is critical to a child’s success in large schools and classrooms.
We group children who are developmentally appropriate for each other based on age, strengths, interest, and scheduling factors. As a result, various levels of therapy are available, focusing on everything from the basics to more complex skills. The goal is to maximize social interaction opportunities for children that will also build their confidence.
Summer Camp at The Hope of the World includes all the fun, highly individualized ABA therapy we offer all year round, but in a concentrated, 10-week format that spans the summer, One-on-One Therapy, Social Skills Group, and more are available in the summer, along with special themes every two weeks and special activities that help make happy campers out of everyone.
