Approach & Methodologies

We use progressive teaching strategies that are proven to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorders reach their highest potential.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is our foundational strategy for addressing challenging behaviors. ABA offers safe, positive and respectful methods to teach students to use self-control and develop appropriate alternative behaviors, thereby improving the students' ability to learn and communicate. ABA methodologies we rely on include:

  • Discrete Trial Training
  • Pivotal Response Training
  • Functional Behavior Assessments
  • Positive Behavior Intervention Plans

FACE also offers structured teaching that involves presenting information and materials in a visual format. This approach capitalizes on a student's visual strengths while minimizing the deficits of auditory processing. To address developmental delays in both language and social skills, our instructors provide students with opportunities to engage in play-based instruction.
