Journey Therapy Center We provide home and center-based ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) programs for children with

Founded in 2018 by the mother of a child with autism, Journey has grown with 2 facilities in Lapeer County and we offer families quality services through our highly trained staff. At JTC, we understand that each child is unique and we cater all of our programming individually to each child. Every patient is carefully evaluated to determine his or her areas of strength and weakness. At that time, a one-of-a-kind therapy plan is developed and implemented by our Board Certified Behavior Analysts. At JTC, we walk with families through every step of the Autism journey!

Demand avoidance isn’t defiance, laziness, manipulation, or disrespect. It’s a response to a nervous system that is yelling – and yelling even louder as a parent isn’t going to help, but neither is giving in.

When we move from control to collaboration, we reduce resistance and increase trust, and that can make a big difference in keeping peace in our homes while maintaining reasonable expectations for participation.

Remember, the goal here isn’t to raise compliant kids; it’s to raise capable ones.

Valentine's Day is almost upon us, and love is in the air!

Roses and chocolates aren't the only way -- or even the best way -- to show up for the people you love the most. In our latest blog post, we talk about how being someone's safe space can be the kindest and most loving act of all.

The groundhog saw his shadow today, so it's said we can expect six more weeks of winter, but we know that here in Michigan it will likely be more than that! ❄️

Groundhog Day has been celebrated in the USA since the 1800s, inspired by a German folk tradition that was adapted by the Pennsylvania Dutch: If the groundhog sees its shadow, winter sticks around; if not, spring is just around the corner.

Here at JTC, we’re embracing Michigan’s winter chill with patience and maybe a warm cup of cocoa!

Stay cozy!

We dedicated our Saturday to becoming better equipped to serve the families that count on Journey Therapy Center.
Community Mental Health offered us training sessions on Recipient Rights, Dignity and Respect, Cultural Competency, Person-Centered Planning, and more!

We also got training on using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, which is an evidence-based practice used by nonverbal children to communicate and interact with others, and we learned a lot about speech motor planning.

Training workshops like this are a big part of how we stay up to date on the latest and greatest ways to help the kids in our care achieve great things! We're grateful for the opportunity to learn, and to pass that on to our JTC families!

We pride ourselves on offering one-on-one therapies to our kiddos, but we also put the things we learn into practice in group formats, like this small social group for pre-teens.
Here, we work on social skills, joint attention, practicing waiting skills, conversation, and answering questions in a group setting.
This allows the kids to put their skills into practice in situations that mirror other real-world experiences, stacking the opportunities for growth.
It's so gratifying to see their little victories. It's why we do what we do!
