Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in communication, social interaction, sensory processing, and patterns of behavior.
At Coorie, we embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognizes the unique cognitive profile of each child. We celebrate each child's individual strengths!
Our team, led by BCBA Katelynn, focuses on:
Building meaningful communication systems tailored to your child's abilities
Developing social engagement strategies that respect personal boundaries and preferences
Creating sensory-friendly environments that promote comfort and learning
Teaching practical life skills that enhance independence and self-confidence
Our Approach to Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific, evidence-based discipline focused on understanding how behavior works, how it's affected by the environment, and how learning takes place.
At Coorie, our implementation of ABA therapy is:
Personalized: We reject one-size-fits-all approaches, instead developing individualized treatment plans that reflect your child's unique profile and family values
Play-Based: Learning happens through engaging, age-appropriate activities that capitalize on your child's natural interests
Family-Centered: We provide parents and caregivers with practical strategies and ongoing coaching to support skill development across all environments
Progress-Focused: Our data-driven approach allows us to continuously measure outcomes and adjust interventions for maximum effectiveness
Our BCBA Katelynn and RBT Adrian work collaboratively with your family to ensure therapy goals align with your priorities and cultural values, creating a supportive system that evolves as your child grows.
