THURSDAYS CHILD
Home
Thursday’s Child is an Early Intervention program serving the needs of children diagnosed with Autism. We utilize the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Discrete Trial Learning in an intensive, individualized, instructional setting. Incidental Teaching and Observational Learning are the additional component used to foster a child’s learning and facilitate the generalization of learned skills. Sensory needs are addressed using sensory integration techniques which are implemented by all clinical staff. An additional component to enhance socialization skills is available through daily interaction with typically developing peers in a daycare classroom at the center. Thursday’s Child is approved by New York State and has been contracted by New York City to provide early intervention services in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
