environments, you will discuss a variety a transitional supports, you will be

trained on how to use transactional supports within a variety of environments

and you will set goals for yourself.  Each month you and your therapist will

develop three goals for you (and/or the entire family) to work on for the

month.  The therapist will design a daily charting system to be completed daily

to track progress as well as to analyze what is working and what is not

working.  At your monthly meeting you will go over these goals and make any

adjustments. ** There is no

deposit for this program**

 

All groups focus on the individualized social communication as well as

socialization needs of each child.   There is a $30 registration fee for each
