Success On The Spectrum
SOS is a national franchise that provides high quality ABA Therapy to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our goals are to reduce problem behaviors and improve life skills. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy method that uses the scientific principles of human behavior to shape behavior or responses. ABA Therapy is widely recognized as the most effective, evidence-based treatment for autism. It is endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General and the American Academy of Pediatrics. ABA Therapy uses systematic instructional procedures to help children with autism learn new skills rapidly and efficiently. ABA is also used to reduce destructive behaviors that restrict everyday living (such as tantrums, body rocking/hand waiving, running away, hurting/biting/kicking/hitting others or themselves, non-compliance, etc.) Skills are broken into small components and taught to a child through a system of reinforcement. ABA uses continuous data collection to evaluate whether the current teaching method is working. SOS offers full-time, part-time, after-school, and summer break program options.
