I'm very thankful that I picked exploring minds as a center to treat my son's autism! It is an amazing place and the staff are very welcoming and I've seen a big change in my son's behaviour and he is improving very quickly. I really appreciate all the hardwork the staff are doing! I recommend this centre for any parent who has an autistic child.

From experience, it is a place that works miracles, and I noticed this with my child. There is truly experience, kind and wonderful teachers, and an administration that is dedicated to work, understands the fears of the families, and is able to contain these fears.

Intake & Assessment
Our intake coordinator will share the link to Intake Form. Once we receive the Intake Form, our senior therapists will review the information and will contact the guardians to plan the assessment session. Relevant assessment tool is carefully planned based on the individuals skills and age group. Assessment determines the behviour gaps and required dosage of therapy
2.
Behavior Treatment Plan
Following the intake and assessment process, our experienced therapists will collaborate with you to develop a comprehensive behavior treatment plan. This plan outlines the specific strategies and interventions that will be implemented to address your child's challenges and promote positive behavior change. We prioritize transparency and communication throughout this process to ensure that your family feels informed and supported every step of the way.
3.
Program Setup
Once the behavior treatment plan is in place, we will work together to set up your child's therapy program. This involves scheduling therapy sessions, arranging any necessary accommodations or resources, and providing guidance on how to integrate therapy into your daily routine. Our goal is to create a seamless and supportive environment that maximizes your child's progress and success in therapy.
