Methodology
At Full Circle Therapy we apply a 360º methodology that helps children diagnosed with ASD in all areas of their lives: At home, at school, and at the community.
behaviors
ABA therapies are traditionally used to reduce or extinguish non desirable and challenging behaviors on children diagnosed with ASD.
training
ABA therapies are also used to teach children new abilities and desirable behaviors like learning how to use words to solicit things or how to wait for their turn in the playground.
Plan
Our therapy is centered around your child. We first identify your child's specific needs and interests, and then our team will create a custom interdiciplinary therapy that works for your child and for your family.
for parents
Without the help of parents no therapy would achieve its goals. Therefore, we help families of children with ASD to face this challenge with the support of our team of talented professionals.
Currently there is no treatment to cure ASD (autism spectrum disorder), but several interventions have been analyzed and developed for use with young children. These interventions can reduce autism symptoms, improve cognitive ability, increase daily living skills, and maximize the child’s ability to live a very functional life and participate in the community.

treatment for my child?
ASD affects each person in many different ways, depending on the unique strengths and challenges in social communication, behavior, and cognitive ability of each individual child. Therefore, treatment plans are usually multidisciplinary, may involve parent-mediated interventions, and target the child’s individual needs.

most effective for my child?
Behavioral intervention strategies focus on social communication skills development and on the reduction of negative behaviors. For some children, occupational and speech therapy might be effective, while for others medication might also offer excellent results. The best treatment or intervention will depend on child’s age and will be determined by each child’s particular strengths and challenges.

of an ABA therapy?
ABA therapies use systematic processes focused on the shaping of behaviors, opening the opportunity to apply learned abilities on different scenarios and environments. The main goal of an ABA therapy is to improve the potential of children diagnosed with autism to learn and develop abilities for life so they can function as independent and autonomous persons.

Our professionals can also offer academic tutoring outside the classroom for children with ASD, in order to help them master the study material in which they show difficulty to learn.
