Center

In the Walden ABA Learning Center (WALC), we provide applied behavior analysis services to children ages two through adolescence and young adulthood. WALC specializes in autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities.

Clinicians establish treatment through assessment and the creation of individualized treatment plans, while behavior technicians provide 1:1 direct care to clients under the supervision of a clinician. Progress is monitored through data collected each session and analysis of data for review/revision of treatment plans. Common programs conducted for skill acquisition include discrete trial teaching, natural environment teaching, direct instruction, and precision teaching. Caregivers also receive the required training for generalizing the client’s new skills to the home and community. Daily communication forms are provided to caregivers at the end of sessions reviewing the programs ran by the behavior technicians and the client’s progress that day.
