ABA Consultation and Instruction
Consultants are Board Certified Behavior Analysts with degrees in either Applied Behavior Analysis or Behavioral Education. Program Managers have extensive experience and formal coursework in ABA. In order to provide exceptional educational services, Advances ensures that each program receives ample oversight by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and ongoing supervision by our qualified Program Managers. All staff members receive ongoing professional development in Applied Behavior Analysis and special education. Advances Learning Center is committed to providing education services that are individually designed for each student. Each child’s personal learning history and preferences are taken into account as specialized curricula are developed. We don’t have one way of doing things; we let the child’s learning determine how we teach.
Individualized Teaching
Advances Learning Center (ALC) is committed to providing an education that is individually designed for each student. Each child's personal learning history and preferences are taken into account as specialized curricula are developed. We understand there is more than one right way of doing things, so at ALC the child's learning determines how we teach.
Curriculum Development
Individualized curricula are developed for students receiving ABA instruction. Each teaching objective has a systematic progression, beginning at the level at which the student is currently successful, and gradually increasing task difficulty and decreasing support. Each curriculum sheet provides instructions for materials, task presentation, prompting and prompt-fading, reinforcement and generalization. A skill that is only displayed in one setting is not functional for the student. That is why Advances makes sure that each teaching program is specifically designed to facilitate generalization. Procedures that promote generalization are used and there are specific generalization steps in each instructional protocol.
Inclusion Facilitation
Advances Learning Center recognizes the importance of careful inclusion. We collaborate with the classroom teachers and specialists to provide each child with a successful school experience.
Generalization
A skill that is only displayed in one setting is not functional for the student. That is why Advances makes sure that each teaching program is specifically designed to facilitate generalization. Procedures that promote generalization are used and all instructional protocols include specific generalization steps.
