AEFCT provides high quality services that are structured, comprehensive, and individualized. Our mission is to provide intervention to children with autism, putting the needs of each child first so that they are met fairly and appropriately. We use developmentally sound strategies supported by empirical evidence, combined with a team approach that involves family participation. Autism affects the entire family unit, and we recognize that parent education and participation are essential to achieve success.
- Team Approach : Qualified Clinical Supervisors and Behavior Consultants work together with each client to support the entire family unit.
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): AEFCT provides direct one on one behavior therapy through the use of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) as the main teaching components.
- Developmental Approach : AEFCT is dedicated to providing developmentally appropriate services that utilize teaching strategies supported by empirical evidence.
- Parent/Caregiver Training : Family participation is a central component of the AEFCT program. It is our belief that a child cannot be successful without the consistent direct involvement of the child’s parents/caregiver.
