What Drives Us

Person centered teaching is at the core of our training and consultation services. Our ultimate goal is to increase the quality of life of our clients and their families.

A healthy and meaningful life is the result of a proper balance between rights and responsibilities.

We stress the fundamental right that all individuals with and without disabilities have to live independent and fulfilling lives. This right comes with the responsibility to care for themselves to the greatest of their ability and learn to advocate for themselves.

Applied Behavior Analysis

Data-based decision-making and empirical analysis serve as the foundation of all our services and training. We emphasize reinforcement for appropriate behaviors and teach new skills to maximize the abilities of our clients.

Our programs and recommendations are based on the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
