Independence Clinic

 

Families join our ABA clinic so their children can gain valuable skills in communication, social engagement, play, attention, and how to learn more effectively. The ABA clinic helps individuals and families overcome learning barriers, as well as problematic and sometimes severe challenging behavior at the Clinic, in the community, as well as within family homes.

Our goal is to help children achieve lasting gains and empower their families to generalize newly acquired skills into the home and community. To maximize gains, our team works directly with children while actively engaging families during the course of treatment.
