Supervisors will provide direct service to children on an individual
basis. These services include school observations, parent training,
team meetings, collaboration with related service providers, video
observations, and most importantly direct therapy. This is a critical
component in ascertaining functioning levels, problem solving and
obtaining objective assessments of the child’s progress.
Functional Programming
Once
baseline levels of functioning have been established, specific programs
are created that target those areas necessary for social, academic,
behavioral and communicative intervention in the most functional
manner. This involves taking into account the child's areas of strength
and weakness, the family’s short and long term goals, and environments
and situations in which the child participates.
Programmed Generalization
An essential component of TLC's behavioral intervention program is the
generalization and application of skills learned to the natural
environment. TLC programs for generalization to insure that the
progression of programming contains incremental steps that promote the
use of learned skills in the child's most important environments -
their living environments.
Collaboration with Related Service Providers
In
order to provide children with a cohesive program and to maximize the
effectiveness of the related services TLC clients receive, TLC actively
collaborates with related service providers. This collaboration process
includes meeting and working with providers, modeling strategies and
learning new techniques. The most effective techniques and strategies
are then incorporated into the child's program in an effort to expedite
the acquisition of new skills. This process provides the child with
consistent expectations and maximizes the effectiveness of the therapy
the child receives.
Individual Programming
TLC
identifies the necessary intensity levels, environments, and programs
needed for the child based on their individual differences. Once goals
and objectives have been identified, programs are selected, modified or
created to provide an individualized program. Teaching appropriate
behavior proceeds in incremental, systematic steps in an individualized
instructional environment structured to build the child's success and
expedite their rate of acquisition.

Active Parent Participation
Parents have a crucial role in their child's program. Parents are
taught behavioral analytic principles and how they are applied in the
natural living environment. These areas of training include, but are
not limited to how to manage the child during free time, structuring
morning and evening routines, managing community trips, and interacting
with siblings. Parent participation is not an option, but rather a
condition of treatment.

Interaction Based Intervention
It
is TLC's intention to make the learning process interactive and as fun
as possible. While it is necessary to provide the child with
challenging and appropriate intervention, it is equally important to
insure that the child finds the learning process fun and reinforcing.
If the child is not laughing and having a rewarding experience then the
program is evaluated and changes are made as necessary.
