Living with Autism
Children and Families
Following the principles of ABA, we work closely with you and your child to develop a treatment plan focused on reducing challenging behaviors and maximizing skill acquisition. Like anyone, an individual living with autism possesses unique gifts and experiences unique challenges. We take both of these things into account as we work to modify behavior by varying environmental stimuli, such as verbal reinforcements and community engagement.
How It Works
What We Do
At B.E.T.H. Services, we start by determining the best assessments for your child, then create individual goals for desired skills and behaviors. Whether we work within the clinic or home setting, we contrive and implement naturalistic teaching opportunities to develop skills.
Every child is assigned a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who will design a treatment plan and monitor your child’s progress, and a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). Your RBT will work directly with you and your child to implement the plan, and collect data that will determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
How We Can Help
Our Core Services
The following are our core offerings. However, we know that every family has unique needs and their objectives. If you have a question about something that isn’t listed below, don’t hesitate to reach out.
We are here for you–all you have to do is ask.
Peer Interaction
We directly facilitate groups and break-out sessions where children have the opportunity to interact with each other. These sessions occur under the observation of a B.E.T.H. Services team member.
Play Skills
We help your child learn how to play with toys (as they were designed to be used) and to have fun discovering the function of an object.
Feeding Therapy
While allowing for a child’s food preferences and sensitivities, we focus our feeding therapy sessions on developing good eating habits, such as staying seated at the table and observing socially significant mealtime behavior. We base each session on the child’s willingness to try new foods and always respect their right to dignity of refusal.
Language Development
Whether it be shaping words into sounds, or sounds into words, we pay special attention to what your child is going through in order to help them develop their language skills.
Behavior Reduction
We work with you and your child to find an alternative for their current behavior and form of communication. We start by finding the cause of a behavior, then turn to the work of teaching a more effective way to communicate with the outside world.
Toilet Training
It’s never too late to ditch the extra change of clothes you carry around with you. At B.E.T.H. Services, we help identify why accidents happen and work to cultivate a sense of proud independence in your child.
Individualized Goals for Independent Living Skills
We write every goal with our client’s independence and verbal community in mind.
Individualized Goals for Skill Acquisition
We set goals that are tailored to meet your child’s behavioral and developmental needs. Each goal outlines the skills they will need to independently function in multiple settings.
IEP Revisions & Consultation
Our Licensed Special Education Teacher will walk you through what to expect when developing an Independent Education Plan (IEP) for your child. This includes how to determine what your child needs and how to work with schools to achieve the optimal outcome.
Parent Training and Observation
Parent involvement is one of the most important components of any child’s treatment plan. At B.E.T.H. Services, we not only invite you to observe your child’s sessions, our BCBA’s will also walk you through our methodology so you can understand why we do what we do. We also offer extensive parent training opportunities so that parents can bring new skills to bear on life outside of the clinical setting.
Sibling Interactions
In our years of experience as ABA analysts and technicians, we have learned that ABA is for the whole family. Our aim is to help families create healthy and loving environments for each member of the household.
Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying
Working with B.E.T.H. means having a team that is dedicated to helping you make a positive and lasting change. Read what our clients have to say about their experience.
“I decided to give B.E.T.H. a try and that was the best decision I could have ever made for my son. He is now 12 years old and I do not know where we would be today had I not given B.E.T.H. a try.”
"You may not even know you need it yet, but B.E.T.H. will show you what the possibilities for hope are and you will be able to achieve those goals that you had long ago."
"We overcome so many tasks with our son, from becoming more independent learning how to tie his shoes, make his bed, shower himself to tolerating his younger sister just talking. All those little things the everyday average person takes for granted."
"They aren't afraid to tackle any issue any child has. They are flexible with their schedule. Staff is amazing, everyone is so caring and dedicated."
"This has been an amazing experience for our daughter and our family. She has really progressed in the time she has been with B.E.T.H."
"They were by my side every step of the way, helping me navigate the school system, creating a custom, data-driven plan that allowed my daughter to successfully transition from daily meltdowns, [...] building confidence through accomplishment."
"We have been through several services including the public and private school systems. None have provided the personal attention that we have received with BETH."
