Our Services
Autism Intervention Milwaukee, LLC offers a full array of diagnostic, treatment and supportive services for your child.
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.
Intensive In-Home Behavioral Treatment:
Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is conducted in the home setting for 25-35 hours per week. Methods utilized are evidenced based, and designed to optimize success, confidence and fun. Therapy sessions are typically 2-3 hours long, and arranged around the family schedule. Family members are encouraged to receive training from our staff so that skills are generalized in the child’s natural environment more quickly. Services can alternatively be provided in a daycare setting if needed, provided that at least several sessions are also conducted at home.
Social Group:
Our social skills group provides opportunities for advanced learners to practice language, play, and social skills with typically developing peers as well as other learners with autism spectrum disorder. This program currently meets three days per week from 1:10-4:10pm and targets the following skills: independence with arrival, departure, handwashing, toileting, snack, and lunch routines. Sharing, turn taking, and conversation with peers are also targeted along with skills associated with participating in group circle time, arts and crafts, and advanced language programming.
Clinic-Based Services:
Families may opt to have their child receive therapy in a clinic setting where they will have opportunities to complete their individualized skill 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, parallel play, sharing, participation in circle time routine, and independence with handwashing, snack, and lunch routines. This service will be offered from 8:30am-12:15pm four days a week.
