Clinical Specialty

ABA Therapy for Language Development in Manhattan, NY

NY Center for Autism Treatment places a strong clinical emphasis on helping children develop language and functional communication skills through individualized, in-home ABA therapy in Manhattan. For many families, one of their deepest hopes is hearing their child communicate — and language acquisition is one of our most important clinical priorities.

Our BCBAs provide in-home ABA therapy for nonverbal children in Manhattan, children with significant language delays, and minimally verbal children who are working toward more functional communication. We use evidence-based verbal behavior programming and functional communication training to build individualized communication programs tailored to each child's current abilities.

Whether your child is not yet speaking, uses a limited number of words, or struggles to initiate communication, our Manhattan-based ABA therapists develop programs targeting early requesting, expressive and receptive language, conversation skills, and generalization of communication across home, school, and community. We also support children who use AAC devices, picture exchange systems, and other alternative communication approaches.
