Consultants for Children, Inc.

In this newsletter, I will cover the services offered by Consultants

for Children, Inc. Along with the consulting services and workshops,

Consultants for Children, Inc. is beginning groups for parents and

children.

Workshops

We offer local and distant workshops for families who have a child

diagnosed with autism and/or other pervasive developmental disorders.

The workshop model is a two or three day intensive training designed

to help families set up their own cost-effective in-home ABA (Applied

Behavioral Analysis) programs. Generally, workshops are held on a

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but depending on everyone's schedules

can occur on any two or three consecuitive days.

A workshop is intended to train the team of aides and the parents of

the child with the diagnosis to teach the child a variety of

concepts. After the workshop has been completed, the home program may

commence immediately. During the workshop, the Consultant will be

able to additionally help with sibling issues, parent support, and

school support, if needed.

After the workshop, the team will be required to take data on the

child's behavior to find if treatments are effective. Depending on

the data received, changes may be made to the child's program.

School Consultations

Consultations are regularly needed in schools regarding new and

existing students with autism spectrum disorders attending their

schools. Each school consulting contract varies based upon the needs

of the clients. The following are only a limited number of

possibilities: IEP Planning and Goal Creation, Inclusion Planning,

Shadow/Aide Training, Teacher/OT/Speech Specialist Training, and/or

Classroom Observations.

The training of staff is an integral piece for the child with an

autism spectrum disorder. To keep all staff consistent and using the

same teaching techniques creates an easier environment for the child

to learn in and increases the abilities and opportunities for that

child.
