Accelerated Childhood Education, Inc. - Who We Are
Accelerated Childhood Education is a Not For Profit Early Intervention Agency. We provide ongoing services including the intensive methodology of Applied Behavioral Analysis.
ACE was founded by a parent and a professional concerned about providing quality intensive programming to those families in need.
Our goal is to work intensively using the methodology of Applied Behavioral Analysis to teach parents and families these time tested and researched strategies to instruct children, to improve upon their area(s) of deficit(s) and build upon their strengths.
We teach children how to learn, how to focus, and to imitate. The approach we use breaks down the learning into smaller more manageable steps. The teacher then reinforces each attempt. Included in our teaching is both the discrete trial, incidental teaching, and verbal behavioral strategies. We work both in a more structured format and through play. Through the use of this type of teaching we can teach children to make sounds, then words, then to chain those words into sentences. We work closely with parents and families to train them in how to increase the learning opportunities throughout the day and to generalize their child's new skills. Parents and siblings can be the most effective teachers when given the tools to work with. We provide these tools.
All Accelerated Childhood Education Supervisors have extensive backgrounds in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis. Our program coordinators include Clinical Psychologists, Behavior Analysts, BCBA's, and other experts in the field. ACE Supervisors are dedicated to developing the child?s skill and enhancing his or her growth and potential.
ACE supervisors work on a weekly basis putting together an individualized program for the particular child and family. We design programs which will attack the deficits and expand on the child's strengths. We focus on issues that the family feels are most important and relevant for their specific home life and culture.
These programs, performed through both structured and play strategies, most commonly focus on language, play, and daily routines, as well as areas identified as important and relevant to the individual family.
ACE also provides Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Social Work for toddlers needing these other related services. Our professionals in these fields are also highly qualified, certified and licensed, and able to work as partners with our ABA teams and programs.
Our Mission is to provide the most comprehensive learning experience when the window of opportunity for learning is greatest.
