We are proud to be a licensed provider of Social ABCs – A Caregiver-Mediated Early Intervention model. A program for toddlers, aged 12-36 months, showing social-communication differences that may be traits of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This program was developed to help parents foster their toddlers’ emerging social-communication development.

This evidence-based service is an exciting opportunity for young children with autism or autism traits to develop their communication and social skills in a natural way – through play, individual interests, and existing family routines.

“In the tapestry of childhood, what stands out is not the splashy, blow-out trips to Disneyland but the common threads that run throughout and repeat: the family dinners, nature walks, reading together at bedtime, Saturday morning pancakes.” Kim John Payne

We are also an authorized Gottman Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Program Leader.
