Center-Based and Home-Based ABA Services
ABA Clinic
WellCare Pediatric Therapy Specialists offers personalized, intensive services to children ages 2 - 12 in our ABA clinic providing behavioral evaluation and ABA Therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) for children with autism spectrum disorders.
Our clinic setting is designed to ensure the safety and happiness of your child. We offer bright, open group spaces with plenty of natural light, indoor play areas, and access to outdoor play areas, including a park and playground right outside our door. We welcome outside service providers to work with clients within our facility, ensuring your child can receive all their services in one location, enhancing collaboration between all team members. WellCare Pediatric Therapy Specialists provide ABA services at our two clinics, located at 1930 Frequent Flyer Point and 2105 Academy Circle. Our clinics are open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, by appointment only.
Individualized Behavior Intervention Plans
One-on-one services are provided within spacious private therapy rooms with daily direct service and supervision provided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA).
Children attend our program daily for 17.5 hours per week (part-time) or 35 hours per week (full-time) at our clinic. Each child receives a great amount of attention, support and high-quality individualized services, including access to a multi-disciplinary team of ABA, Occupational, Physical and Speech therapists. Our team-focused approach includes BCBAs who also work directly with children and provide parent training and in-home support.
Each child within our program receives a fully individualized Behavior Intervention Plan containing developmentally appropriate skill acquisition goals meant to target the core deficits of autism. Services are provided across all environments (clinic, home, and community) and progress is tracked daily allowing for on-going modifications to accelerate success.Home & Community ABA Therapy
We encourage learning skills in various natural environments rather than at a table. Our program includes daily integration within the community with daily walks and playground time as well as weekly outings to restaurants and shopping where we may then focus on behavioral and functional skills within the natural environment. Our group activities also allow our clients to receive one-on-one support to facilitate learning and social interactions with peers.
Our unique location backs to the Garden Ranch park and playground and is within walking distance to key community locations. We believe in the importance of integrating our clients into the community as much as possible to generalize learned skills to real world settings.
Plans are comprehensive to help each child reach their maximum potential to function independently and actively participate at home, in school and in the community.
Everyone Who Enters Our Care is Family
As a locally owned family-focused company, WellCare Pediatric Therapy Specialists takes a very personal approach to developing individualized ABA treatment plans.
We work to get to know our children as unique individuals and work alongside families to educate, encourage and nurture their children's full potential.
We believe having a consistent daily routine is important for our children's success and helps prepare them for transitioning into an educational setting. Research has shown that intensive ABA treatment is the most effective, especially for younger learners, and we are able to make great strides with language, toilet training, and various other skills that require more time and intensity than the child might otherwise receive in home, school, or with more limited services.
