Potential

Adult services: we provide community support, systematic skill building, and behavior support services for adult clients through Pennsylvania's adult autism waiver (aaw). This enables clients to safely integrate into the community while maintaining dignity and experience a variety of person-centered enrichment opportunities. This has ranged from supporting client's success in music and arts education, volunteer work, and other socially meaningful interactions. When clients need new skills or behavior support, we work with the family and the individual to assess the problem and come up with targeted solutions and then provide the follow-up needed to ensure success and satisfaction. This allows us to expand the opportunities for clients to find employment and help match them with Potential employers. We provide the coaching and support to help them realize their goals, personally, and professionally.

Ibhs services: we provide services from the onset of a child's diagnosis of autism through the age of 21 through commercially available health insurance plans, pa medical assistance, and private pay. This involves coordinating care with other providers, incorporating parents as partners in the process, and working individually with clients to provide medically necessary services including behavior therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. These services are designed to help address the core deficits of autism and include the most up to date assessments, progress monitoring, and treatment evaluation and planning. We have worked hard to be able to offer this service to clients from low socioeconomic status as well as doing our part to help reduce the financial hardship of autism by accepting medical assistance.

Springtime school: the springtime school is available to serve individuals with autism spectrum disorders from 5-21 in a year round setting. Using the principles of behavior analysis, teachers and staff design and implement individualized education plans while collaborating with families and students to determine the most appropriate means of support. This includes opportunities to integrate into the community, working on independent living and leisure while still maintaining an academic focus. We don't just teach kids how to do math, we teach them how to functionally apply the skills to enable them to live a more independent and robust life. We make sure to target skills for generalization to the home and community settings. Springtime school provides a place where students, who've struggled to be successful in public settings, can flourish.
