What’s the news?
The West
Virginia University Center for Excellence
in Disabilities is expanding its programming to offer a new program,
Behavior and Learning Intervention Services. This program will help children
ages 18 months to 21-years-old build communication and daily living and play
skills, while decreasing challenging behaviors like tantrums, aggression and
self-injury. Clients can be involved in social skills group and parents can
learn how to increase desired behaviors.
Quotes and Comments:
“Last
year the CED launched an Autism Services program that has been very successful.
But, we started getting a lot of calls from parents whose children did not have
an autism diagnosis who were interested in the
available services. Services driven by the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis can be
beneficial to many diagnoses, so we decided to expand the program to serve more
children than those on the autism spectrum.” —Kaiti Martin, BLIS program
coordinator.
