Our Services
Autism Intervention Milwaukee, LLC offers a full array of diagnostic, treatment, and support services for your child. We are locally owned and women owned since 2002. All of our administrative staff are readily available to you at our conveniently located office in West Allis, Wisconsin.
Diagnostic Assessment:
Evaluations are conducted by our psychologist to determine diagnosis and plan of care. Diagnostic appointments will include structured interview with parents, clinical observation of and engagement with child, review of outside therapy or medical records, and consultation with Birth to Three providers, teachers or daycare staff. Formal assessment of cognitive, language and adaptive skills may be recommended if not yet completed elsewhere. Parents will also be asked to complete standardized inventories as will the clinician.
In-Home Behavioral Treatment:
AIM is one of the few remaining providers who continues to offer intensive ABA treatment in home. We believe it is important that when starting your journey in ABA, we provide an option to receive services where both families and children are most comfortable. Additionally, your child’s hours will be completely individualized to meet their unique needs. Typically treatment will consist of 20-35 hours per week, where services are often started gradually to allow your child time to adjust to their new routine. Methods utilized are evidenced based, and designed to optimize success, confidence and most importantly, fun! Treatment sessions are typically 2-3 hours long and can be arranged around your child’s nap time and other commitments (e.g. school, speech/OT/PT, etc.). Family members will be invited to be an active part of the treatment team to better ensure treatment gains generalize across all environments. In the event family work schedules do not allow for all or some of intensive treatment to be delivered in home, AIM is also available to provide treatment in your child’s daycare setting. This option can be discussed further with AIM staff at anytime.
Clinic-Based Services:
Families may opt to have their child receive therapy in our clinic setting where they will have opportunities to complete their individualized skills programming and participate in school readiness experiences with their peers. In addition to targeting your child’s one-to-one programming, our clinic-based services will target the following skills: independence with arrival and departure routines, socialization skills, participation in circle time routine, and independence with handwashing, snack, and lunch routines. Our clinic based services take place at the AIM office in West Allis between 8:30am and 3:15pm. Families may also choose to enroll their child in either our morning (8:30-12:15) or afternoon session (1-3:15). Families who elect to participate solely in clinic based services, will be required to participate in weekly team meetings and/or in home family guidance training sessions to better ensure mastered skills generalize from the clinic setting to the home setting.
