Eating

For some children with autism includes having a very limited diet and may not eat a healthy variety of items within their diets. Using a well established program, we work with parents to ensure your child eats a variety of foods and drinks including those healthier alternatives.

Sleeping

Issues are not uncommon for children with autism. These can poorly affect their moods and ability to be successful during the day. In addition, it can create difficulties for others including parents to sleep since the child may often be waking up. Utilizing a well established program, we work with parents to establish and maintain proper sleeping patterns for children.

Sensitivity to Auditory

Sounds can be difficult for some children with autism. Loud and unexpected sounds can cause discomfort and even create problematic behaviors to occur. These sounds like blow dryers, alarms, whistles, speakers, trains, etc… can be like nails on a chalkboard to many children with autism. Utilizing reinforcement and small steps, we are able to decrease and eliminate the resistance to these sounds so that children can tolerate them.

Parent Training

Can be difficult for many families of children with Autism due to their schedules and/or the limited availability of most providers. At ABA Services, we can schedule sessions convenient to your schedule. We use a nationally recognized parent training system that builds upon concepts, techniques, topics and other customized related topics. Contact us today to learn more

Although every child is different and so are their needs, we offer a variety of other specialized programs such as children getting haircuts, trimming their nails, etc. We strive to make each child able to receive these specialized programs so that they can be successful in the world.
