Coordination of Care

Children learn from their environment and models within.  When children begin to build skills within therapy and start attending pre-school, community settings, or other therapies, we coordinate with the service provider or teacher to ensure skills learned in therapy are generalized.

“My clients are like family; my staff and I give each of them the time and attention and care that I expect for my own children. When we can work with teachers and parents and caregivers to create a support team that is fully engaged in therapy, together we can raise the bar.”

– Amy Leuthauser (Owner/Executive Director)

Did you know: Studies show that early diagnosis and intervention lead to significantly improved outcomes.  If autism is caught in infancy, treatment can take full advantage of the young brain’s remarkable plasticity.

Although autism is can be difficult to diagnose before 24 months, symptoms often surface between 12 and 18 months. The earlier these signs are detected, the more intensive treatment may help to rewire the brain and reverse the symptoms.
