Autism Treatment Centers
Applied Behavioral Concepts, Inc.
Applied Behavioral Concepts, Inc., established
in September 2000, utilizes the principles of applied
behavioral analysis to assist and educate children with
Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD), Autism, and
Aspergers Syndrome. Currently housed within a typical
preschool environment, Applied Behavioral Concepts is
able to provide therapy to include incidental and
inclusion opportunities in addition to Discrete Trial
Therapy most commonly associated with autism treatment
(Surgeon General’s Report). Applied Behavioral Concepts,
Inc., accepts students pre-school through third grade.
Providing Services
Recent reports list Huntsville as having one of the
highest incidence of Autism and PDD in the U.S. Applied
Behavioral Concepts, Inc., focuses on servicing the
rising number of children in our area who require
therapy for these conditions. Research has shown
center-based therapy programs have a success rate of
up to 47%, as reported by the University of Los Angeles.
This is primarily due to the consistency of the training
hours and the strict therapy technique that a facility
is able to reliably provide. Home therapy is only one of
the options available to educate children diagnosed with
a developmental delay. Applied Behavioral Concepts,
Inc., is able to provide several alternatives to include
other facets of ABA and enhance the childhood learning
experience:
o Discrete trial therapy for early learners
is provided in an open environment.
o Incidental therapy is taught in a preschool
classroom with typical peers.
o Inclusion, when appropriate, is also
available with support provided.
o 1:1 or 2:1 teaching ratio
Home therapy options are also available to supplement
either our program or other learning environments, such
as children who are receiving school-based services.
Further, our parent training and team meetings enable
parents to become active participants in their child's
progress in learning.
Applied Behavioral Concepts, Inc., is an approved
Tricare Insurance services provider.
