Initially, children receive a complete developmental assessment to determine the current level of functioning and appropriate programming needs and placement. Most children begin a treatment program that consists primarily of individual therapy services based on the principles of applied behavior analysis which includes specialized instruction in the areas of communication, behavior, cognition, daily living, social and play skills. As children acquire language and instructional skills, we offer additional educational services including an Early Education classroom program, a Primary Education classroom program and after school Enrichment Programs for school-aged children. We offer regularly scheduled parent training clinics as well as additional therapy services including occupational therapy, sensory integration, and speech and language services. We frequently collaborate and work with our local and surrounding area schools by providing direct therapy services to children and training for teachers, program aides and parents.

The clinic program at The Riley Center provides individual behavioral therapy based on the principles of applied behavioral analysis (ABA) for children diagnosed with autism. The ABA approach includes specialized instruction in the areas of communication, behavior, cognition, daily living and social and play skills. It is the only proven method used to treat autism.
