Jewel Fernandez's Company Details
Endeavor Behavioral provides behavioral therapy and consultative services for a variety of ages and diagnoses, specializing in autism spectrum disorders, developmental disorders and delays, and behavior disorders. We have over 10 years of experience providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services.ABA is a data-driven science that is research-proven to increase adaptive skills and behaviors, as well as reduce disruptive, maladaptive, or interfering behaviors in individuals with developmental delays and other behavioral, learning, and communication disorders. It has been endorsed by a number of state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Surgeon General, The American Academy of Pediatrics, and The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Thanks to an ever-growing body of research and the support of professionals, the nation has seen a remarkable increase in the use of ABA to help those with developmental delays live happy and productive lives.Using individualized goals as a guide, ABA applies reinforcement, modeling and prompting, rehearsal, and the modification of environmental variables to create meaningful and lasting changes in behavior. Whether the goals are potty training, social skills, self-care skills, academics, communication, or vocational skills, Endeavor Behavioral can help. While the principles and procedures of ABA are established and proven, it is a still a growing field with new effective practices being developed every year. As authors of research ourselves, we understand the importance of staying current on these new developments in the field to ensure we are always providing the most effective and thoroughly-proven methods with each client we see. In addition to ABA, our LPCs and Clinical Psychologists offer a behaviorally-based cognitive approach to learning and development for those working on social skills, coping skills, and reducing defiant or emotional behaviors that are interfering with development.
