TES’ approach to Adult Services

How do we keep therapy enjoyable?

Every adult therapy session is individualized to include the client’s preferred reinforcements, activities/leisure activities, engagement with preferred stimuli and people/environments, and locations.

How do we work as a team?

Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), mid-level supervisors, and therapists are in constant communication with each other and all members of the treatment team including the client, caregivers, and other service providers. Everyone has a voice when it comes to quality treatment.

How do we include the family and other support?

When involved, family plays an important role in adult therapy by giving the treatment team a personal perspective of what deficits, skills, and unique needs the individual has.
