Mission Accomplished!
It is no easy feat finding the right place to get the applied behavior analysis (ABA) services your child needs, but you did it! You want only the very best treatment for your child, and so do we! Behavior Frontiers’ professional and compassionate team has been providing superior quality ABA service to clients and their families since 2004 – that’s more than 19 years -- and all that experience has shown that our accurate implementation of scientifically proven ABA methods makes a positive difference in the lives of individuals with autism and other special needs – we’ve got the data to prove it!
Our professional and highly skilled staff is NOW available to conduct intake assessments, either in-person or through telehealth, with your family to begin the treatment process. Please contact us at 636.202.0693 to find out more about our services and to schedule an initial appointment.
Behavior Frontiers has enhanced our policies and procedures regarding the delivery of our ABA services, including, limiting staff in clients’ homes, offering telehealth services, requiring employees to wear masks or face coverings, and requiring employees and clients to cancel sessions if they exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19, as well as providing detailed protocols for clients and employees who have tested positive for COVID-19. We believe that these safety procedures have helped to reduce the risks of exposure in providing ABA services.
The [Behavior Technicians] we have are very attentive, patient and really good at reading our son's signs and moods. They are a delight to have around and get as excited as we do whenever a new milestone has been reached. The managers overseeing the progress are completely involved and have some of the most helpful input I've heard from people in this field. You can tell they take their work to heart.
