ABA is an evidence-based therapy for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or other developmental disabilities. The goal of ABA therapy is to help children learn new skills and behaviors while decreasing unwanted behaviors. It can also improve focus, memory, communication and social skills, and academic performance.
Your child will have the opportunity to work with one or more of Siskin’s Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). BCBAs and RBTs work together to create a treatment plan that fits the needs of your child and family. ABA therapy can be conducted in a variety of settings, including home and school, and research suggests that 20-30 hours of treatment each week leads to the most effective outcomes.
Siskin Children’s Institute is a nonprofit organization based in Chattanooga, Tennessee that provides diagnostic and therapeutic services to children with special needs such as autism, down syndrome, speech delays, and intellectual disabilities. For over 70 years we have worked to improve the lives of children with special needs, and we hope to reach even more families in the years to come. We recently founded our Nashville clinic and now offer ABA therapy throughout Tennessee and Georgia.
Receiving an official autism diagnosis is the first step in starting ABA therapy. At Siskin’s Chattanooga and Nashville locations, children can be seen for an autism diagnosis within 1-2 months instead of the 6-12 months that many families experience.
If you are interested in an autism evaluation, talk with your pediatrician, and ask for a referral to Siskin. Our team is pleased to provide local in-home ABA therapy as well as other autism services to Columbus families through our Chattanooga clinic.
Siskin’s Columbus, GA, ABA team is ready to serve you and ensure your child receives the resources they need to thrive. Schedule a phone consultation today to discuss ABA and other autism services and resources Siskin offers.
