The GBS Therapy Center for Autism and Behavior Management in Montoursville, PA provides effective, intensive, data driven, fun, interactive 1:1 therapy to children with autism, communication and behavioral challenges. It provides therapy based in Applied Behavior Analysis in an intensive, fun environment.
Our staff are Registered Behavior Technicians and Behavior Technicians who are supervised and trained by a doctoral level Board Certified Behavior Analyst/Autism Specialist/Licensed Behavior Specialist under the PA State Board of Medicine with well over 20 years experience working with children with Autism and behavioral/communication challenges.
We base everything we do in a fun, enjoyable learning environment. Intensive instruction is well balanced with play and physical activity.
Your child is important to us, and our first priority is having fun!
Parents are a vital component in the therapy process, therefore you will be consulted and an active part of all we do to teach new skills and reduce problem behavior. Parents are encouraged to schedule their own 1:1 sessions on Fridays, for their own private session at the center. These private sessions are focused on generalization of skills to the home and community and to help promote parent involvement and confidence.
For children attending the center, preschool/daycare shadowing for generalization of skills may be available.
