Alternative Behavior Strategies‘ (ABS) mission is to provide the most effective treatment possible for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. To achieve this, we respond to the goals set forth by the parents, as well as the treatment team, and then tailor a program to help the child attain these goals. We strive to provide the most effective treatment by using a variety of methods empirically proven to be effective through clinical research, offering Behavior Alternatives to Open New Opportunities.
