Autism Behavior Intervention

Insurance Companies We Currently Accept

Children with autism can often miss the nonverbal social cues that guide behavior. But once they learn appropriate behavior, their development, learning and social interactions can continue without interference.

At Pivotal Parenting, our one-to-one behavior intervention services help your child achieve important goals via skill and communications development that builds their independence.

Why Choose Behavioral Services from Pivotal Parenting?

What makes Pivotal Parenting the only choice for our clients in LA County? We are owned and operated by a parent who understands life with an autistic child, and therefore makes care and support of parents and their children the top priority.

Our team offers over 16 years of combined experience with autism treatment, and receives only the best training and certification on a continual basis. This allows us to offer the latest evidence-based intervention strategies to your child.

We also like to do things differently by keeping our client list small. This means that each child is able to receive the time and attention they require without having to be placed on a list. Our clients also benefit from appointment-only weekend services for added support and peace of mind.

Discovery and Transformation

Changing the behavior of a child on the autism spectrum begins by discovering the underlying source of that behavior. Undesirable or challenging behaviors in children typically occurs as the result of the desire to either avoid or have something. In autistic children, a common response to a healthy experience can appear exaggerated or odd.

Applied behavioral analysis, or ABA, is a very effective means of teaching your child for several reasons. It is a structured reward-consequence system that offers consistency when rewarding or giving consequences to your child. ABA also facilitates understanding by making appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, and their respective rewards and consequences, clear.

Achievable Goals

ABA focuses on teaching your child appropriate behavior via small, achievable goals which eventually culminate in the meeting of significant goals. Your child receives positive reinforcement for each step they complete. The result is positive behavior over the long term.
