Day Support Services Program (Ages 18+)
Holland Center Offerings
Not quite 18 years of age yet and therefore not ready for Holland Life Offerings? The two Holland Center locations offer some incredible, life-changing therapies for pediatric individuals on the autism spectrum.
Pediatric ABA Therapy
Holland Center (located in Minnetonka and Mendota Heights) offers intensive behavior therapy to children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder that range in age from toddlers who are 18 months old to individuals who are up to 18 years old. Children with autism receive one-to-one instruction based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and B. F. Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior. ABA services include assessment to determine a learner’s present level of performance, the determination of appropriate goals and objectives based on those assessments, and instruction utilizing the research-based methods of ABA and verbal behavior found to be effective at improving the symptoms of autism. Goals and objectives address communication, social skills, play skills, cooperation, safety skills, daily living skills, vocational skills, and classroom readiness skills. Instruction utilizes effective data recording methods and programming decisions are guided by learner’s performance. All therapy is supervised by a team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who conduct assessments, develop programming, and supervise treatment.
