Maximum Potential Group today announces that their video-based ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy program has now been endorsed by renowned autism expert Dr. James W. Partington, Ph.D., BCBA-D. Dr. Partington is the director of Behavior Analysts, Inc., and creator of the ABLLS(R)-R and the WebABLLS(R).
Each year more and more children are diagnosed with autism. Parents and schools alike are struggling to find efficient and cost-effective ways to work with their children on the autism spectrum. Implementing a consistent, workable ABA program has long been out of reach for many school districts due to the inability to find efficient and affordable ways to train staff. "School districts' budgets often restrict them from being able to ensure that all employees that are in contact with a child with autism are properly educated," says Garrett Butch, the founder of Maximum Potential, and the father of a 7-year-old with autism. "We believe that every member of a school who interacts with a child with autism should be educated on best practices. By receiving the proper training, school staff can have a positive effect on the lives of our children."
