At JumpStart Autism Center (JAC), we pride ourselves on our comprehensive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services. Our goal is to provide highly effective services to change your child’s developmental trajectory, maximize your ability to teach your child new skills, and improve your family’s quality of life. To determine your child’s placement within our specialized program offerings, we conduct an individual comprehensive treatment evaluation with your child to best determine their areas of strength and needs.
Our Intensive Support Program is a specialized intervention program for children ages five to eleven years old requiring extensive support. Children participating in the Intensive Support Program demonstrate significant developmental delays and challenging behaviors for which intensive interventions targeting safety, adaptive skills, communication, and functional independence are prioritized. Based on individual needs, treatment in this program is provided in either a one-on-one or two-to-one clinician to learner ratio. Learner’s accepted into this program have traditionally struggled to acquire new skills while with other community providers or at school.
JumpStart Autism Center’s incorporation behavioral fluency into our mastery criteria allows us to teach skills so they do not regress during breaks or to teach skills that have extremely difficult for some learners to acquire in the past. By using behavioral fluency as a criterion for mastery, we are able ensure a leaners acquisition of skills is accelerated at a doubling per week and ensure once a learner has acquired a skill it remains a stable skill for the rest of their life. For many parents of learners who would qualify for our Intensive Support Program the idea of maintaining skills and seeing their child double their skills set every week is challenging to consider. However, that is always our goal and our Precision Teaching approach to ABA allows it to happen.
Program Placement & Commitment
Based on your child’s comprehensive treatment evaluation and medical necessity determination, JAC’s clinical team will provide a placement decision that includes the number of hours of treatment necessary for your child’s best outcomes. Our placement and medical necessity determination are based on your child’s needs, deficits, and severity of impairment, and it is consistent with research regarding the level of service necessary to remediate deficits in the quickest amount of time. To participate in any of JAC’s specialized programs, we require a commitment to treatment of at least 80% of the total recommended hours per week.
