The
Manhattan Childrens Center provides scientifically-based world class
treatment and education to children, ages 3 to 12, utilizing the
principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. Our goal is to offer every
child an opportunity to enjoy a quality of life and emerge as a
functioning member of society. As each child is unique, we provide
individualized instruction according to his or her developmental
abilities.
This program’s interdisciplinary model incorporates ABA, speech
and language therapy, occupational therapy, as well as sensory integration,
natural environment training and family support. The Manhattan Childrens
Center provides a comprehensive educational approach for children
with autism spectrum disorder utilizing scientific research-based
interventions that are effective based on years of experience on
our other campus. The Childrens Center Brooklyn facility was established
in 1996 and has served over 1,500 children including those with
PDD and autism. We are a partner in research and service activities
with Columbia University, Teachers College faculty and students.
Our caring professionals focus on each student to enhance and foster
his or her maximum potential. We also support our parents and families
in helping them to understand the special needs of these children.
Families become an equal partner with us in the educational process
to help all children achieve their full potential.
