All of our services are individualized, taking into account both the needs of the child and their family. Always starting from the premise that every child with autism can learn, and it is our role as professionals to find the way to help them reach their full potential.
Evaluations
Our comprehensive diagnostic evaluations help determine whether children meet the criteria for an autism diagnosis or not, using the highest standard in diagnostic assessment.
Employing validated tools such as the ADOS-2, the ADI-R, the BOSA, and the TELE-ASD-PEDS.
In addition to determining a diagnosis, the evaluation process helps us identify a child’s specific strengths and weaknesses, which will guide the appropriate intervention recommendations.
These evaluations can be conducted with children as young as 6 months of age, regardless of their geographic location.
Parent training: facilitating socialization and communication at home
This training prepares parents to become agents of change in their children’s lives. The strategies learned help them redesign their natural environment and thus promote the acquisition of language, communication, play, and social interaction skills in their child.
The family and/or caregivers learn to use strategies based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to help their child acquire new skills while participating in daily activities and in their natural environment.
These trainings are private and individualized according to the needs of the child and their family. They are conducted 100% via telehealth, so there are no geographical barriers to gain access to them.
Early intervention from home
Alcanzando utilizes the Parent-Mediated Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention model via telehealth. This model is based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and developmental theory, and has extensive scientific evidence.
The field of early intervention considers our model the most appropriate and effective for children with developmental difficulties or autism. Our data and experience show that this model, when designed and supervised appropriately and frequently by qualified professionals, results in significant progress for children.
Through the redesign of the child’s social environment, we effectively bring about better social interaction, as well as the development of their verbal and non-verbal language, with the intention of changing their life trajectory.
The telehealth sessions are conducted under the supervision model. The adults involved in the child’s life are trained and supervised to act as creators of social experiences during which the child learns the communication, language, and socialization skills they do not yet possess.
The parent-mediated program is conducted 100% via telehealth and is individualized according to the needs of the child and their family.
Personalized consultations
Private sessions aimed at families who require an autism and applied behavior analysis specialist to design, support the implementation, or evaluate objectives aimed at teaching new skills or managing undesired behaviors.
These advisory sessions are private and individualized according to the needs of the child and their family. They are conducted 100% via telehealth, so there are no geographical barriers to accessing them.
