Autism

What is Autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability characterized by deficits in social skills and communication and by the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviors. The spectrum of autism is wide-ranging with each individual presenting with their own unique set of characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses.

At Lexicon Reading Center, we use interventions based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). That involves individualized assessment and collaboration with the family to determine appropriate intervention goals. Intervention goals are decided according to the child’s individual needs.

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) provides training to the family and child’s treatment team in order to carry over the effects of the intervention to the child’s everyday life. Our ABA-based skills assessment and intervention consist of the PEAK Relational Training System, The Verbal Behavior Milestones and Assessment Placement Program (VB-MAPP), The Assessment of Functional Living Skills, The Early Start Denver Model, and a variety of assessments are used to address social skills.

We offer multiple services for Individuals with ASD, their Families, and Educators. Contact us for complete discussion of-of your child’s needs and the answers to your questions. Learn how we can help your child.
