Accessing Abilities Employee Directory

A behavior analytic and educational service agency that provides assessments, direct therapeutic treatment, consultations, trainings, and supports to people of all ages. Our agency implements Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, which is the science of human behavior. It is evidence-based. It is typically implemented in the natural environment so the... client learns new skills and behaviors in the real setting. We play. We teach and support in the school setting. We provide services in the community (at restaurants, playgrounds, for instance) and everywhere behaviors occur! It is all positive, fun, and effective. A team approach to Accessing Abilities. We all have abilities. Sometimes we need additional assistance in order to access them. It all starts with an assessment, which is tailored to the needs of the client. From there we identify strengths, needs, barriers, and a treatment plan (if it is warranted). Using a team approach that involves collaborating with the natural supports that the client has (such as family, school team, etc.), we develop the plan to meet those needs and access abilities. If ABA is new to you, your child, or student, or if you are already familiar with our therapeutic services, we welcome you to contact Rachel Avner Torrance, Executive Director of Accessing Abilities. During this initial phone call: You will have a chance to share with us what your needs are, and begin sharing about the potential client/student. We can develop a plan regarding next steps based on your individual needs.Read More
