Developmental Journey
Gideon's Parent Sharing
“For the first time, I felt like a mother.” – Gideon’s Mother
This powerful quote marks the beginning of Gideon’s developmental journey. In this video, his parents—both paediatricians —share their firsthand experience with early signs of delay, challenges with speech and social connection, and the importance of timely intervention. At just two years old, Gideon faced difficulties in communication and engagement. Drawing on expert guidance, his parents chose an evidence-based approach that helped him grow from silence to meaningful connection. Their story highlights the value of early observation, professional support, and persistence.
Our Unique Method of ABA
While all ABA may be founded on the same foundational principles, not all ABA is alike.
ABA can take various forms depending upon the individual or agency providing the service. In addition to the skill level of the provider, there are technical and stylistic differences in implementation.
At AP, our treatment method (Autism Partnership Method, APM™) is highly clinically driven and utilize procedures that have been developed out of working with children and from our research center. Our curriculum is all-inclusive focusing on critical foundation skills including managing behaviors, communication, social, learning-how-learn, and self-help skills. We teach in a fun and innovative way with natural reinforcements that motivate children to learn and make rapid progress.
The APM™ focuses on:
- Developing strong and natural reinforcers so that learning can easily transfer to the real world.
- Helping children so that they learn not only in 1:1 situations, but in small and large groups
- Helping children learn in natural settings, that includes the types of distractions that occur in schools and the community.
- Focusing on the whole child: not only is communication and academics important but teaching children all the skills they need to develop meaningful and long-lasting relationships. This includes developing social and play skills.
- Teaching children the skills that will allow them to become truly independent. Learning how to monitor their own behaviors is essential for maximizing quality of life.
- Recognizing the need to provide counseling services for children, siblings and parents.
- Providing therapy in natural forms so that children develop natural language and are able to engage with the natural world.
- Training parents, teachers, and family members the necessary skills so that they can facilitate success
