The Pediatric Place is excited to introduce our new, state-of-the-art Autism & Neurodevelopmental Center in Clinton, MO!
The Autism & Neurodevelopmental Center is designed to support children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. The children receive behavioral intervention (Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy – ABA), social interaction as well as speech-language therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, dietetics, and mental health services as needed. The goal is to support children to improve their ability to function within their daily routines. By learning to manage and self-monitor their own behaviors, express themselves appropriately and regulate their sensory needs children will improve their independence and be able to participate in childhood occupations.
With a large conference room, 2 large group or friends rooms, 12 individual treatment rooms, a large gym space, and a fenced in outdoor play space children have the opportunity to generalize skills over different spaces and with their peers. The new Center also allows for collaboration of professionals within The Pediatric Place, from all disciplines, to ensure treatment plans take into consideration the whole child. Collaborative care includes access to teams of professionals, from an array of disciplines, working together to ensure your child reaches their full potential and a more successful future.
The Center also has 3 observation rooms for parents and caregivers to observe their child’s therapists work with the child through a 2-way mirror. This allows the parent/caregiver to observe the treatment plans in action. The large conference room and friends rooms allow for parent/caregiver training to take place without disruption.
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) services will be provided for children ages 18 months through 9 years, 11 months of age; however, if children begin with our ABA team, they are not turned away once they reach 10 years of age. Children must have a diagnosis of Autism to receive ABA Therapy.
ABA Therapy is provided in our Center through individual and group sessions, within our Alternative Placement setting, and/or in-home services.
