Services We Offer
Individual and Social Skills Therapy:
Welcome to Guiding Strides LLC, your dedicated partner on the journey of autism intervention. Our clinic is proud to offer a comprehensive range of services designed to address the diverse needs of individuals on the autism spectrum. At Guiding Strides LLC, we understand that each individual is unique, and our services reflect a commitment to personalized care, fostering growth, and creating a pathway to success.
**Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA):**
Our ABA services form the cornerstone of our intervention approach. Guided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), our ABA services focus on understanding behavior and implementing evidence-based strategies to promote positive behaviors, reduce challenging behaviors, and facilitate skill development. With individualized treatment plans, our ABA services extend beyond therapy sessions to encompass a holistic and family-centered approach.
**The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM):**
For our youngest learners, we integrate The Early Start Denver Model into our services. This evidence-based early intervention approach combines principles from ABA with developmental and relationship-based strategies. Through play-based activities and naturalistic teaching methods, we aim to enhance communication, social skills, and overall development, providing a strong foundation for future learning.
Groups
Our groups are designed to guide learners through understanding their every day environment as it relates to others. Using evidence-based strategies we focus on the development of friendship skills, adaptive skills, problem solving, and self-awareness. Peer models are incorporated in the groups in order to help learners acquire social and pragmatic skills. Group ratios are based on the individual's needs.
School Support
The location in which services are provided is an integral part of the treatment plan and necessary for treatment goals to be met. We collaborate with several schools throughout Orange County to provide support services in the learners academic environment. This provides an opportunity for children to participate in a less restrictive school environment with social skills support.
