Supporting patients with evidence-based behavioral interventions.

Upon entering the clinic, patients and caregivers are welcomed in a calm, clean environment. Whether its a dental appointment, medical appointment or any other service, our providers introduce themselves and engage with both the patient & caregiver and find out the details pertinent to the patient’s lifestyle. We use that information to modify the space to meet their particular sensory needs. When needed, we bring our ABA Specialist in to assist in making the appointment as comfortable as possible for the patient.

For the first visit, we are focused on getting to know our new patient and how they react to the environment and what they do and don’t like. If we find out our patient doesn’t like glasses, or that they are passionate about tacos, those notes may make it into our files for later! We want to establish a relationship with you, and help you to be at ease.

Throughout each appointment, clinicians and staff ensure that we communicate each step in a way that our patients can understand (verbal, visual, pictures, communication devices, etc). We discuss specific questions and concerns the patient and family/caregiver may have. Our ABA Specialist may not be needed in every appointment. But they are always available to meet needs during your clinic journey.

Our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is always available to assist patients during their scheduled medical, dental, or therapy appointments as needed. Although there aren’t separate, scheduled ABA appointments, our behavior specialist is ready to provide immediate, in-the-moment support if a patient experiences difficulty or discomfort during their visit. The BCBA collaborates closely with patients, caregivers, and clinicians, offering gentle guidance and effective strategies to help patients communicate their needs, manage stress, and feel comfortable during their care. Our behavior specialist observes, listens, assesses the situation, and responds compassionately, ensuring each patient receives personalized and positive support tailored specifically to their individual needs. By proactively addressing challenges during regular appointments, we aim to enhance comfort, reduce anxiety, and ensure every visit is successful and stress-free.

As you leave, we hope you feel relief. You take a deep breath. The pressure is alleviated, and you know that you have a whole team here working together to coordinate the best possible care and outcome. You will feel equipped to think like a behavior detective, taking data at home, in the community, and in other environments. With this, we can determine the function of certain behaviors and guide our individualized treatment recommendations. You are not alone. The medical professionals, psychiatrists, mental health professionals, dentists, therapists, and specialists are all working together with you! You came to the right place.
