Great Strides has been providing cutting-edge ABA services to St Louis, St Charles and the surrounding counties since 2004. We have over 65 years of combined experience in both the science and strategies of ABA as well as education. We pride ourselves on staying up to date with the research and methodologies of both fields and strive to provide the highest level of client/family care and support possible.
Our Core Values – In order to create an environment that promotes positive and sustainable achievement for our clients and staff, these are our guiding principles as an organization:
Our Approach
Our approach features a positive and systematic, yet flexible approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for autism intervention. Creative and accommodating, our treatments are tailored to address each child’s unique abilities. Although we specialize in Early Intervention, we serve clients ages birth to 18 years old. Our teaching strategies are natural and motivating, so that skills will become independent and internally reinforcing. Additionally, our treatment approach encourages active collaboration with the parents throughout the program. We believe that having continuous ongoing communication between parents and therapists is crucial to monitor progress, encourage generalization of skills and thus achieve the best outcomes for the child.
