Areas of Practice
At Brilliant Minds we seek to make the best connection between the therapist, the patient, and the world around them.
If your child has been formally diagnosed, you’re in the right place to get help.
Our teams develop specifically tailored ABA treatment plans for our patients. We also collaborate strongly with the family and outside services and professionals to create a teamwork approach.
If your child has not been formally diagnosed, but you have identified areas of concern, one of our treatment plan options may be right for your family.

Applied Behavior Analysis & Parent Training
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically proven method to assist children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to reach their highest potential by increasing socially appropriate behaviors and decreasing socially inappropriate behaviors.
The intensity of treatment will be prescribed by your Board Certified Behavior Analysis based on a series of assessments specific to your child. Treatment will include parent training of skills in socialization and communication to decrease problem behavior and equip the parent with the tools necessary to independently assist their child.

Parent Training & Direct Treatment
Parent training is an integral piece of assisting children with behavioral problems that stem from a variety of diagnoses such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Helping parents understand the best interventions for their child will aid in resolving and reducing conflict in the home.
Direct treatment of the child will be initiated to gather data to determine the course of treatment (not as intensive as ABA). A hierarchy of needs in skill acquisition as well as behavior reduction will be identified and cherry picked to assist parents in identifying replacement behaviors, de-escalation strategies, antecedent interventions, and positive consequence procedures.

School Observation
Bridging the gap between school and home can resolve a lot of unanswered questions. A school observation can be conducted to determine what is working at school and how to incorporate that at home.

Medical Appointments
Medical appointments can be extremely overwhelming, especially with the amount of jargon that is commonly used during the evaluation process. Assistance can be provided to attend in-person visits, telehealth appointments, assessment results and records review.
