The Madeline Centre has recently added a very exciting new program to our services.  Our Behavioral & Autism Services  (BAS) Program is now available to children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or disruptive behaviors and functional communication challenges. Additionally, these services are available to those children transitioning back into the community from an “out-of-home” placement.

Many families feel overwhelmed by the needs and demands of these children.  Our clinicians work in the home of the child and family for 5 to 12 hours per week providing them support through direct behavioral therapy, parent trainings, crisis management, and linking with community resources.

TMC clinicians  use the principles of ABA, Applied Behavior Analysis, to increase functional communication, improve social skills, and reduce challenging behaviors.   We also stress the importance of building positive relationships and implement positive parenting approach.  Services are provided under the supervision and training of Ms. Cherie Arnn, who is a BCBA, Board Certified Behavioral Analyst, with over 20 years of experience working with families and children who have Autism Spectrum Disorders.

The success of the behavioral intervention depends upon mutual support between families and professionals.  So, we also offer parent support groups, consultation, and professional training.  The Madeline Centre is dedicated to the continual improvement of programs for children with an Autism Spectrum  Disorder and actively serve as advocates in all the communities we serve.
