We are especially skilled in helping young children with the
potential to achieve independent functioning in a general
education setting achieve that goal.
Treatment
averages 20 - 40 hours of direct intervention per week to
reflect the individual child's needs and current research
findings (e.g., Lovaas, 1987, Howard, Sparkman, Cohen, Green,
& Stanislaw, 2005, Sallows & Graupner, 2006). Structured
peer interactions are usually part of every child's program
by the end of the first year of treatment. Children who learn
in small group educational settings are "shadowed"
by an Instructional Assistant into play groups, preschool,
kindergarten, or first grade to help maximize progress in
these challenging environments.
Treatment
intensity reflect evidence-based practice as well as the fact
that children with developmental delays must learn at a faster-than-normal
rate if they are to begin to catch up to their typically developing
same age peers. To reach this goal the children with delays
must achieve more than one month's growth for every month
spent in treatment.
Early
intensive intervention programs based in the child's home
are available throughout the California Central Valley from
Sacramento to Merced. The Kendall Schools in Modesto, Tracy,
and Elk Grove provide intensive center-based intervention.
