What to Expect

As a group, we are Behavior Analysts and Speech Pathologists passionate about teaching others to learn. While our focus is on language, behavior, social, academic and life skills, we strive to make it meaningful and fun!

We provide continuous training and closely monitor progress through on-going assessment, observation, and direct 1-1 sessions to get to know each learner. The science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Verbal Behavior (VB-identifying functions of language) is used to facilitate the development of socially significant skills needed to succeed at home, school and the community.

The programs developed are based the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) including Skinner’s Analysis of Verbal Behavior (VB).

ABA is a set of scientific principles used to identify functional relationships between the environment and behavior. The design, implementation and evaluation of interventions are directly observed and measured to produce socially significant improvements.
VB identifies functions of language through verbal operants as described by
B.F Skinnerç—´ book Verbal Behavior in 1957.
