Strengths-based and neurodiversity
affirming ABA therapy
At Cortica, we believe that your child has a greater chance of achieving their goals if the voice in their head is asking, “What’s strong with me?” rather than, “What’s wrong with me?” We believe that every child has strengths, and we’ve designed our ABA program to enhance your child’s existing strengths and develop new ones. By leading with strengths instead of problems, we empower your child to succeed in their own unique way.
Our neurodiversity-affirming model of care:
recognizes that every child brings unique gifts to the world
acknowledges each child's strengths and preferences
uses language that shows respect for neurological differences
provides a personalized level of support for each child, based on their strengths, needs, and goals
improves each child's opportunities for enjoyment, learning, and advancement in everyday environments
