ANDERSON CENTER CLINIC

Yes, our programs are all rooted in the principles of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), which is evidence-based. Whether your student is in our social skills group, Road to Readiness program, or taking advantage of one-to-one services with our Licensed Behavior Analysts, we are always building highly respected, results-oriented tools and strategies into everything we do to ensure the best possible outcomes!

Every situation is different, but we may request educational records (including current IEP or 504 plan), psychological and educational evaluations, medical records and immunization history, autism diagnosis documentation, and any relevant behavioral assessments or reports. We will keep you informed on any documentation we need, and we’re here to answer questions every step of the way.

By carefully reviewing your child’s strengths and needs with you, along with assessing educational, medical, and psychological records, we will create a highly customized plan designed to enhance your child’s social, behavioral, and communication skills. You will play an integral role in this process, and we will regularly evaluate how our ABA program is working for your child so that we can do everything possible to build the foundation for a bright future ahead.

We offer one-to-one services during daytime hours, both for early learners (birth through age 6) and for students who do not have school placements. We also host afterschool social groups for 6-10 year olds, and a Road to Readiness program for children in their early childhood years (to prepare them for Kindergarten). We are also open to setting up social groups for older children should needs arise. Everything we do is designed to empower young people with the tools and confidence needed to thrive in all areas of their lives.

Funding for Anderson Center Clinic services can sometimes be covered by insurance (we accept CDPHP and some other New York State health insurance options). We also offer flexible private pay options.

Our one-to-one Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions are geared toward building functional communication, age-appropriate play and leisure skills, and helping children become more independent in activities of daily living (toileting, sleep, feeding, etc). We also seek to cultivate school readiness by working on the development of focus, attention, communication, routine-following, and adaptive behaviors.

Road to Readiness is designed specifically with soon-to-be Kindergartners in mind. We aim to help these young learners develop an understanding of the structures and routines that come with classroom time, as well as confidence when it comes to peer interactions. Our hope is that this program will provide children with a strong sense of self, that it will prepare them for a successful academic journey ahead.

Our professionals at Anderson Center Clinic include Licensed Behavior Analysts, Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT), and Behavior Technicians (BT). All are highly trained in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and it is clear that they genuinely love what they do! The families with whom they have worked report many positive outcomes, and often reflect on the fact that our team truly believes in their children and shows unwavering commitment to maximizing their potential.
