Early Intervention In-Home
Services |
|
Our
highly trained staff will work on specific goals concerning behavior
and routines with the child and family. Our experience has shown
when parents are an integral part of the child’s training,
generalization to other settings increases along with parent
confidence and satisfaction. Parents, who have participated in
in-home programming, have seen an increase in opportunities to go
into the community without typical meltdowns or rigid behaviors
displayed by their child. We supply materials that can be used in
the home or community and provide on-going support and tips for the
family to implement across settings. To learn more,

contact us.

Our daughter has benefited so much from attending Club CLUE.
It has been helpful to have friends that are "safe" and
understand the nature of her disability. She has come out
of her shell at school, too. We're thrilled that she is
branching out and going to school dances and other social
functions, and we know that
Club CLUE has played a large part in giving her the confidence
and skills to take this major step.
