ETS Social

ETS Social is our group-based approach to therapy.
Does your child struggle to make and maintain meaningful friendships? Does he/she have autism or other social struggles that make it difficult for them to interact with peers their own age? If so, join ETS for our BCBA led social groups and camps. We are continually forming groups.

We carefully match ETS Students by age, communication ability, and level of social development so our therapists can tailor group treatment plans to address the needs of each child. ETS Social groups come together once a week at our learning center for an hour and a half. During that time, groups cover a wide range of scenarios, including how to lose a game, play at recess, talk to each other, join a group, and use toys. One therapist never works with more than three children at a time.

 

ETS Social will help your child:

  • Develop play and social skills
  • Compromise and play with others
  • Understand and manage emotions
  • Control impulses
  • Communicate with others

 

ETS One-to-One

ETS One-to-One is our individual ABA therapy. Every ETS Student has a unique set of needs, and many respond better to therapy in a one-on-one setting. Through ETS One-to-One, our therapists design a personalized treatment plan for your child and work with you to establish a weekly therapy schedule.
As you can imagine, one-on-one sessions vary significantly from child to child based on their age, needs, and goals—but no matter what the variables are, ETS therapists find creative ways to make learning fun. We offer ETS On-to-One in your home or at our Clinic.

 

ETS One-to-One will help your child:

  • Improve their communication
  • Reduce challenging behavior
  • Increase appropriate behavior
  • Become more independent
  • Learn how to play
  • Develop social skills

 

ETS Training

At ETS, we understand that parent support is a key component of what we need to do abundantly well. ETS provides a series of parent trainings that are geared towards learning, networking, and simply enjoying time with other parents who share similar challenges.
Sometimes you just need a little extra guidance on how to help your child succeed. Through ETS Training, our therapists give you the tools you need to manage your child’s behavior. From potty training to using public restrooms, we can help you address many challenging tasks and activities on a schedule that works for your family.

 

ETS Training can teach you how to:

  • Manage challenging behaviors at home
  • Introduce new foods to picky eaters
  • Increase communication at home
  • Help your child succeed in the community
  • Get your child to sleep in their own bed
  • Encourage independence at home

 

ETS Consulting

We believe consistency is key to each child’s success. Through ETS Consulting, we offer consultations with anyone who works with your child—other therapists, teachers, coaches—to ensure that your child receives consistent treatment from every adult. Consultations may include in-person or phone-based meetings, email correspondence, or observation sessions.

 

ETS Consulting will consult with your child’s:

  • School teachers and administrators
