Intensive home-based services utilize a transdisciplinary team approach in a child’s home. The teams, consisting of Behavioural Therapists, specialists from early intervention programs, and caregivers/parents, collaborate to provide family-centered intensive behavioural services in your child’s natural environment, including your home, daycare, and community. Supervision is provided by Behaviour Analysts. Research supports early intensive behavioral treatments produce the best outcomes for children on the Autism Spectrum (Lovaas, 1987). As part of the treatment, Change for Life fosters an equal partner relationship with caregivers/parents to produce the best treatment outcomes.
Our services implement play-based behavioral programs targeted to promote the development of age-appropriate social interactions, communication skills, and the reduction of behaviors that interfere with family life. The treatment focus is on individualized developmentally appropriate practices that reflect the child’s and family’s priorities, learning styles, and culture.
Change for Life does its best to accommodate families’ needs and choices, and services are provided in the home and scheduled in a way that works best for young children and busy families within our 3hr session model. If a child is attending child care services, the team may decide to provide direct therapy support within the kinder setting to provided on-site opportunities for generalising skills learned in therapy.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and gather, the Bunurong and Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize their continuing connection to land, water, and culture. We also extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
