Treatment Models
Comprehensive Interventions
Comprehensive interventions are recommended for early learners to close the gaps between the child level of functioning and their typically developing peers. Comprehensive Interventions focus on all areas of development (daily living skills, communication, social skills, play leisure skills, motor skills) and behavior intervention plans to reduce challenging behaviors and increase appropriate alternative behavior. Treatments are provided in your home or at the Melmed Center from 30 to 40 hours per week Monday through Friday.
Focused Interventions
Focused treatments are recommended for children who are enrolled in a full time school program and have IEP’s to support their educational needs. Focused Interventions concentrate on specific and targeted goals. Goals can include increasing social skills, self-care skills, tolerating transitions, leisure skills, communication or reducing inappropriate behaviors. Treatments are provided in your home or at the Melmed Center from 10 to 25 hours per week Monday through Friday.

- Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA): FBA is a variety of assessments used to determine what is the purpose or reasoning behind a problematic behavior. Once a function is determined we can create positive strategies to reduce the behavior and replace it with an alternative, appropriate behavior. FBA’s can be conducted in the home or at a child’s school.
