I consult on cases in Grass Valley, CA and surrounding regions.Our E.A.T. Programs encompass research-based practices such as Discrete Trial Training and Activity Based Intervention. We work to make our in-home services fit with each family’s ecology and schedule, and develop programs that meet the individual needs of each child. We strive to create partnerships with each family in addition to collaborating with other professionals. A consistent program that allows family members to play an active role in the interventions implemented is of utmost importance.The Early Intervention Behavior Treatment (EIBT) Program is designed to serve children ages 18-48 months at intake. The anticipated during of Learning Solutions EIBT program averages three years, transitioning between two and a half to three years to an Early Autism Treatment Program focusing on functional adaptive skills or parent coaching. Recommended intensity is based upon individual needs and best practice research ranging from 25-40 hours depending on age. The EIBT program addresses deficits and excesses in motor, communication, adaptive, social and emotional, cognitive, and behavioral domains. Learning Solutions’ anticipated outcomes for an EIBT program include independence within their home and learning environment and for parents to demonstrate the ability to continue with skill acquisition and maintenance and have a grasp of basic behavior intervention principles.

Assisting a child with autism with daily activities and self-care, as well as supervising community outings to a variety of locations.I facilitate his independence by being present while he attempts basic tasks like brushing his teeth, getting dressed, and preparing simple meals. I make myself available to help if needed, but prompt him to do as much as possible on his own, and remind him to ask for help in appropriate, complete sentences.I regularly take him on community outings to a variety of locations, from parks to malls to grocery stores. My goal in outings is to allow him as close to age-appropriate independence as possible, while still facilitating social interactions, modeling proper behavior for different situations, and first and foremost keeping him safe.
