Center-Based Services

TBS’s center-based programming offers your family treatment plans based on your child's needs. All therapy is individualized and is structured upon language milestone assessments, which is based on BF Skinner's (1957) analysis of verbal behavior. The primary focus when teaching children with Autism should be the development of effective language skills. All therapeutic goals, such as language acquisition programs and behavior intervention plans, are overseen by a behavior analyst.
