Welcome
to Discrete Trial: A Behavioral Analysis Program
Your child is receiving support services from our Language and Behavior
Program. The methodology used is Applied Behavior Analysis or ABA.
The term ABA is commonly used
synonymously wit Discrete Trial.
ABA is proven by research to be effective with children with Autism.
Discrete Trail therapy is one methodology within ABA. We use a variety
of methodologies as part of our Language and Behavior Program. Some of
those include:
 |
Pivotal Response Training-PRT (Dr. Laura Schriebman)

Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication
handicapped Children-TEACCH (Dr. Gary Mesibov/University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill)

Our program serves students on all tracks, Orange, Green, Blue and Gold.
We currently work with students from Preschool through elementary.
Direct services as well as consultation and aide support in classrooms are
available as identified on each child's IEP.
Our program benefits from ongoing support from Autism Partnership, a
non-public agency founded by Dr. Ron Leaf and Dr. John McEachin, who were on
the original Lovaas research project out of UCLA.
