Support for Your Child
At Horizon, we create a nurturing environment where children learn and develop the essential skills needed to build a strong foundation for continued growth and success. Using a comprehensive assessment process, our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) develop programs tailored to your child’s individualized strengths and needs.
Support for You
We understand the challenges that parents of children with autism face, and that’s why we offer valuable parent training. Whether it’s a change in routine or new experiences, we’ll equip both you and your child with the skills to reduce challenging behaviors. Through regular meetings with our team, you’ll have the opportunity to review progress, express concerns, and better understand how to use applied behavioral analysis (ABA) principles at home.
Your Child Deserves a Voice
Your Child Deserves a Voice
Individual Focus
Communication
Communication
Every child deserves a voice. But children with ASD often struggle to communicate their wants and needs, resulting in unideal behaviors. Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) helps children find their voice, be it through traditional speech or augmentative and alternative communications.
Nutrition
Nutrition
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder frequently have limited diets due to food aversions and selectivity. Through structured processes that gradually introduce new textures, foods, and brands to your child, our goal is to minimize your child’s food rigidity.
Rest
Rest
Helping your child get the sleep they need is essential to their overall well-being. Sleep can improve your mood, memory, physical growth, and your ability to retain new information.
Routine
Routine
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) uses structured schedules and visual supports to help children with autism understand their surroundings and expectations, reducing anxiety and increasing their comfort and confidence in navigating through their day.
Education
Education
Targeted interventions and individualized instruction help develop essential early learning skills, such as language, social interactions, and behavior regulation. When it's time to transition to the school environment, our behavior analysts work closely with parents and teachers to ensure a smooth transition.
Social Skills
Social Skills
Through various ABA strategies such as Naturalistic Enviromental Teaching (NET), role-playing, and reinforcement, children develop important social skills. This includes conversation skills, friendship building, and understanding social cues.
