Day Services
Day services at The NEEDS Center offer people we support a ready-made peer community. Day services can assist people to acquire, retain or improve their self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills, including communication, travel and other areas. Activities and environments are designed to foster the development of skills, greater independence, community inclusion, vocational opportunities, relationship building, self-advocacy and informed choice. Additionally, people can contribute to their communities through volunteer work.
Residential Services
The NEEDS Center offers the people we support the opportunity to live as independently as possible. Our residences are person-centered, allowing for community integration and increased independence so they can live a fulfilling life.
Home Based Therapy
Home-based therapy provides meaningful learning opportunities that enable children with ASD to master critical skills in their home or other familiar environments.
We work with families and their insurance companies to identify the best times to schedule our one-on-one in-home ABA therapy sessions — typically from five to 20 hours per week. After discussions with the family and a comprehensive assessment that identifies a child’s strengths and areas to target for improvement, we develop a highly personalized treatment plan which includes the development of adaptive skills and strategies to decrease challenging behavior.
School Consultation Services
The NEEDS Center works with many school districts each year, providing training and consultation services to administrators, teachers, and students. Our consultants work with school staff and family members to coordinate and enhance educational and behavioral services for children and adolescents with:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities
- School adjustment and behavior disorders
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Multiple disabilities
- Psychiatric disorders
