Empower
AAI recognizes that every individual possesses unique strengths and abilities. AAI focuses on listening, partnering, and engaging with individuals in a playful and natural way. We provide a range of resources and strategies to empower individuals and their families.
AAI provides support to neurodivergent individuals and their families. We offer one-on-one sessions, group sessions, and caregiver education. These sessions can take place in our clinics, in family homes, in schools and daycares. We also offer several varieties of telehealth to best accommodate family needs.
Neurodiversity
AAI supports the concept of neurodiversity: acknowledging the diversity of the human brain and the unique ways each individual functions. Autism is a neurodevelopmental spectrum that influences how a person may communicate, interact with others, and process sensory information.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental spectrum that influences how a person may communicate, interacts with others, and processes sensory information. The severity and specific symptoms vary widely among individuals.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
We use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as the foundation of our approach. This evidence-based method uses personal motivation to teach new skills through structured, systematic methods enriched with abundant play.
ABA principles, coupled with a neurodiversity-oriented perspective, allow AAI to design support programs that respect and honor the uniqueness of individuals. We modify strategies to address specific challenges and goals while acknowledging the distinct strengths and differences of each person.
