This program is designed for students with learning disabilities and neurodiverse profiles who benefit from structured, data-driven instruction.

Clinical ABA Program (Ages 3–13)

Our ABA Program is cognition-linguistically based, emphasizing within a structured instructional environment. The program integrates Applied Behavior Analysis with teaching strategies that support language development, reasoning, executive functioning, and social competence. Instruction is individualized, data-driven, and focused on building foundational skills that support learning, communication, and independence.

Across Excel programs, we center:

- Direct Instruction and instructional design
- Precision Teaching and data-based decision making
- Instruction grounded in behavior science research
- Occupational Therapy as a prioritized therapy alongside ABA in support of sensory motor development

Our mission is to provide a nurturing, academically focused learning environment where neurodiverse students can develop strong academic foundations, cognitive-linguistic skills, and the confidence needed to succeed in school and beyond.
