Our Mission Statement
Blueview’s mission is to provide the highest quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services of care to children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, while fostering an inclusive and compassionate environment. Our goal is to work with children and their families to ensure that each individual with autism reaches their full potential. We acknowledge individual differences and needs in regard to treatment options. The long-term goal of Applied Behavior Analysis is to produce socially significant long-term behavior change that continues when a therapist is not present or an ABA program ends.
Our Vision Statement
Our vision is to empower individuals with autism and their families through compassionate, ethical, evidence-based care, resulting in meaningful, lasting outcomes that generalize across home, school, and community settings.
What Is Autism?
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disability; signs typically appear during early childhood and affect a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others.
What Are the Symptoms?
Autism is not a single disorder but rather a “spectrum” of closely related disorders that share common core symptoms. Every child on the spectrum has problems to some degree with social interaction, empathy, and communication. These symptoms vary tremendously from one child to another. Two kids with the same diagnosis may look very different in their behaviors and abilities. Some children show signs of autism in early infancy; others may develop normally for the first few months or years of life but then suddenly become withdrawn or aggressive or lose language skills they’ve already acquired.
If you’re worried that your child has ASD, it’s important to seek out a clinical diagnosis. Finding a treatment that addresses your child’s needs is the most helpful thing you can do. Early intervention will improve your child’s chances of overcoming his or her developmental delays.
