Clinic-Based ABA Therapy with Turning Point
In our clinics, our highly trained behavior technicians work one-on-one with each child under the supervision of either a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). We currently have two locations: one in Cass City, MI and one in Bad Axe, MI. We chose these locations to accommodate needs in both Tuscola and Huron counties. Both ofour clinis are located safely off of main roads, include over 25+ therapy rooms, gyms, and enclosed play areas.
Each therapy room features various areas for a client and their behavior technician to conduct one-on-one programming/discrete trial instruction (DTT). Group areas such as a carpet center and a snack/lunch table are also present in the larger rooms. These therapy rooms have features to contrive scenarios to practice verbal operants such as manding/requesting, independent play, and motor. Some rooms feature settings for toleration goals a client may be working on such as going to the dentist, trying new foods, or getting their hair cut at a salon. Clients at Turning Point have scheduled rooms that they transition between throughout their day. Each child has a rainbow cart to contain a client’s programming materials, reinforcement, and miscellaneous data collection materials the behavior technician may need throughout each session.
