We provide tools and resources on site to enable a child to achieve overall success as each and every child is an individual and requires a personalized treatment plan. Our ultimate vision is to not only bring together a wide variety of treatments but also to bring together the special needs community so our children can flourish in every way possible.
All Shine Behavioral curriculum has been developed in consultation with
the esteemed Cleveland Clinic Children’s Center for Autism (CCCCA).
CCCCA provides Autism Development Solutions- Proven strategies that serve a growing need with a
focus on communication, socialization and behavior. For more than 15 years the CCCCA has been
collecting both applied and clinical research to create the outstanding evidence based applied
behavior analysis (ABA) programs they offer today.
About Autism
1Autism is the fastest growing developmental disorder in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges and in our country today 1 in 36 children have an ASD.
- 4% of boys 8 years of age
- 1% of girls 8 years of age
The overall ASD prevalence per 1,000 children aged 8 years was 27.6 (one in 36)
Although ABA therapy can help to improve difficulties with communication, social interactions and problem behaviors at any age early intervention is critical as the brain’s ability to learn new skills decreases with age. So the earlier treatment is begun the more likely we are to see quick change and long-term overall success!
