Welcome to our Shamokin Dam clinic!
Our location in Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania, offers our Day Program in a brand new facility, conveniently located at the intersection of Route 11 and Route 15.
Every child is unique and needs the right type of support to become the best they can be. As a parent of a child with autism, you know that they need support to help their individual needs, not other children’s needs. Autism can affect children in different ways, so the support and care they receive should reflect that.
At Mission Autism Clinics, we provide autism services in Shamokin Dam, PA, and offer ABA therapy programs for children with autism. We understand that your child is unique and will work closely with your family to create a customized treatment plan to help them achieve their goals.
If you have a child with autism, you’ve likely heard of applied behavior analysis therapy before. ABA therapy has been considered the gold-standard of autism treatment for years.
Benefits of ABA Therapy for Children
Before deciding on any treatment for your child, you want to know that you’re making a choice that’s right for them. ABA therapy has various benefits, and how exactly it can benefit your child depends on what their needs are for the program. They might need more help in one area than another, which is why the program is tailored for each child.
Here are a few ways ABA therapy can help children with autism.
It Rewards Their Achievements
When your child learns a new skill or reaches a new goal, their progress deserves to be celebrated. This is why ABA therapy focuses on acknowledging when children develop positive behaviors, rather than pointing out negative ones, to help them grow.
It Helps Them Make Friends
Many children with autism struggle to communicate and make friends. In our program, children get to interact with their peers and work on their communication and social skills. Throughout their time in ABA therapy, children can develop the skills they need to build relationships in their lives.
It Teaches Life Skills
Autism can make it difficult to do everyday tasks that many people take for granted. This can require them to be dependent on others to complete tasks like dressing themselves and brushing their own tasks. ABA therapy can help children learn valuable life skills to help them be more independent today and in the future.
It Gets the Whole Family Involved
ABA therapy works for so many because it doesn’t only provide support for children but also for their families. Your child spends most of their time with you, so it’s vital that parents receive guidance on what they can do to provide the best support for their child. To help make it easier for family members to get involved, we have flexible scheduling that works with your schedule and can even provide our program at our clinics.
