QUESTION: Does ABA cure autism?

ANSWER: Autism isn’t an illness or disease, so there is no “cure.” People with autism simply develop and process information differently. That said, applied behavior analysis can make a big difference in helping kids and adults thrive.

Here’s how ABA works to help accomplish that:
🔸Reduces behaviors that are barriers to learning
🔸Helps children acquire skills be more effective communicators
🔸Teaches play and social skills to help kids interact with each other
🔸Determines the most-effective teaching strategies to capitalize on each child’s strengths

Keep in mind that a child’s behavior and how they acquire skills can change over time. At KCC, our behavior technicians work with families on a regular basis to evaluate treatment plans and modify them as needed.

True or False? Hand dominance is typically established by age 5.

True! While hand preference is often noted by age 3, hand dominance is typically established by age 5. Hand dominance assists a child with daily living tasks, including handwriting, teeth brushing, and self-feeding, leading to independence in these areas.

If you have concerns about your child’s hand dominance and fine motor skills, our amazing OTs at KCC can help!

Kids with Challenges Become Champions at the KCC!

The Kaufman Children’s Center for Speech, Language, Sensory-Motor and Autism Treatment is an award-winning and internationally recognized pediatric private practice located in West Bloomfield, Michigan. We offer speech-language and occupational/sensory-motor therapy, as well as applied behavior analysis (ABA) autism programs, social skills groups, and many more services that help kids live their very best lives.

The KCC is also the home base of speech-language pathologist Nancy R. Kaufman, our owner/director and renowned expert in childhood apraxia of speech. When she’s not working with local, out-of-state, and even international families who come to the center for her evaluations and intensive programs, she travels the world teaching fellow SLPs how to best help kids using her Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP). Realizing that one therapy approach does NOT fit all, the Kaufman Children’s Center creates an individualized treatment program for each child. Our center houses a staff of extensively trained, talented speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, board-certified behavior analysts, and ABA technicians who work together as a team for the best interests of each child.

The KCC’s reputation for successful outcomes caused us to outgrow our facility and expand into a neighboring building in early 2018. Our “K2” location is right across the parking lot and geared specifically toward children with autism spectrum disorders. This expansion has allowed us to move dozens of children off our ABA wait list and into programs that will bring about meaningful changes in their lives.

Specialized and innovative therapeutic methods include: The Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) Speech and language therapy Applied behavior analysis (ABA)/verbal behavior Occupational therapy Sensory integration therapy Social language skills groups for many age ranges Specialized feeding & oral-motor programs Craniosacral therapy Fast ForWord® cognitive training Handwriting Without Tears® Interactive Metronome® Therapeutic Listening® We are here to help! Contact us if you have concerns about your child’s speech, language, sensory, motor, or social development. We are always happy to address your questions by phone, and if needed schedule an evaluation.
