A Diverse and Inclusive Community
At Affinity ABC, we believe that everyone with autism has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that ABA therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance. We are passionate about providing in depth care through all stages of life.
Commitment to Compassionate Care
Our dedication stems from our unyielding belief in providing individualized and compassionate services to our clients and their families. Our approach not only focuses on the clients’ needs but also on empowering the families, emphasizing that the decisions and control should rightfully belong to those directly impacted—the clients themselves.
Compassion in Action
Our therapists are trained to approach each individual with empathy and understanding. We recognize the unique needs and strengths of each person, and we tailor our ABA therapy to suit their specific requirements. Through compassionate interactions, we build trust and rapport, creating a supportive environment for growth and progress.
Collaboration as the Key
We believe in the power of collaboration. Our ABA therapy involves close collaboration not only with the individuals receiving treatment but also with their families, caregivers, and other professionals involved in their care. By working together, we ensure a comprehensive and cohesive approach that addresses all aspects of the individual’s well-being.
Logic Driving Results
While our approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration, it is also firmly grounded in logic and evidence-based practices. Our ABA therapy programs are designed based on thorough assessments and analysis, leading to targeted interventions that yield measurable results. We continuously monitor progress and adjust strategies to ensure continuous improvement and success.
Serving the Entire Spectrum
We understand that autism and related disorders exist across a broad spectrum, and each individual’s experience is unique. Our ABA therapy encompasses a wide range of needs and abilities, catering to individuals at different points on the spectrum. From early intervention to support for adults, we offer a continuum of care that is adaptable and effective.
