The ABRITE Organization is dedicated to improving the lives of young learners with the use of early intensive intervention services based on the principles of applied behavior analysis. We view each child as an individual and develop an educational curriculum that addresses the learner’s unique strengths while remedying deficits. This goal is achieved solely with the use of empirically supported methodologies as we believe further development and dissemination of validated practices will be the way by which families and science can unite to improve the lives of children with autism and related developmental delays.

The Academy for the Advancement of Children with Autism (AACA) is a newly-formed organization that offers information, education and treatment services for children with autism and other related disorders. The Academy is committed to the self-actualization of students affected by any aspect of autism. AACA provides an academic solution to children facing developmental challenges. Specialized education curriculums are combined with individualized treatment programs to further the advancement of each child. No two children sharing the same diagnosis respond equally to the same exact course of treatment. Transition is also extremely difficult for most children facing these types of challenges. Therefore, AACA believes that to achieve the best results it is necessary to make many different types of treatments available so that each child's specific needs can be addressed. The Academy offers the most cutting-edge research-based treatments available to date. There is also a clinic on site. Treatments available at AACA include: - Adaptive PE - Applied Behavior Analysis - EGG Biofeedback - Equine Therapy - Floortime Therapy - Occupational Therapy - Parent Training - Psychotherapy - Respite Therapy - Speech and Learning
