Autism Guidance

Practical strategies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

When you’re parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other related developmental delays, the most essential action you can take is to begin treatment early.

How It Works:

At BCSC, we understand that every child on the Autism Spectrum is unique. That’s why our Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessment and treatment are both led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Disruptive behaviors (e.g., hitting, swiping, noncompliance, etc.) will be analyzed through various measures, observations, and  interviews. The results will be used to identify the maintaining variable or function of these behaviors. 

Your BCBA will be your child’s champion. They’ll begin by conducting a comprehensive behavioral and developmental assessment. This personalized approach ensures we target the areas where your child can improve and build upon current strengths. Thereafter, the information compiled will be presented to parents and caregivers in an effort to support the entire family system.

Modalities We Use:
  • Communication & language
  • Social skills
  • Self-care
  • Play & leisure
  • Motor skills

Strategic Solutions + Patient-Centric Care

Our approach utilizes research-backed treatment so you or your child get better results, with less chance of reoccurrence. Plus, by monitoring treatments as they progress, we’re better equipped to avoid roadblocks and troubleshoot immediately should challenges arise.

Evidence-Based Assessments
Personalized Treatments
Compassionate Care
Patient-Centered Outcome Tracking

Frequently Asked Questions:

What kind of guidance does BCSC provide?

We provide education, strategies, techniques and therapeutic support to help you improve your child’s social and communication skills, reduce the frequency and intensity of meltdowns, advocate for your child’s needs, and maintain your own self-care.

No cure exists for autism spectrum disorder. Because each child is unique, treatment and development strategies need to be tailored to each individual and situation, and there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. With proper guidance you can maximize your child’s ability to function and reduce symptoms.

ASD guidance will help you improve communication and understanding, create positive behavior reinforcement systems, and improve social/emotional development.

Yes. Raising a child with ASD is an ongoing process, and can cause emotional strain for parents. Taking care of yourself allows you to better care for your child. We offer guidance on self-care strategies like stress management and finding support for yourself.
