New Visalia Autism Center Opens Doors
22 Jul
Summary
- New autism care center offering ABA therapy in Visalia.
- Services aim to develop communication, self-care, and socialization skills.
- Center provides in-home or clinic-based therapy options for families.
A new 360 Behavioral Health autism care center is now operating in Visalia, significantly improving access to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for families in the Central Valley. This new facility is dedicated to providing ABA therapy for both early learners and school-aged children diagnosed with autism.
According to Maria Robles, director of clinical services for 360 Behavioral Health, the therapy services are designed to foster essential developmental skills. These include vital areas such as communication, self-care, and socialization, which are critical for young children's growth.
The organization recognized that many parents in the region previously faced challenges in finding local autism services. This often led to extended travel to locations like Fresno or delaying services altogether due to unavailability in their immediate areas.
The Visalia center aims to provide a much-needed local option, offering flexibility with both in-home and clinic-based therapy. This dual approach caters to families' varying needs and schedules, easing the burden of juggling multiple responsibilities.
The clinic is equipped with specialized materials to support play-based learning and naturalistic teaching methods, creating a fun yet effective educational environment. 360 Behavioral Health is scheduled to host a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Visalia center on August 15.
