Wesley Spectrum Family & Child Development Center


    

Children with Autism and other developmental disabilities need specialized help in a facility oriented to maximize their abilities. We encourage learning one-on-one, in groups with other children and in family settings. All our services help a child with Autism progress at his or her own rate, extending feelings of hope and accomplishment throughout the family.

BHRS (Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services)/Wraparound provides intensive, behavior focused therapy conducted by trained clinicians and therapists. These services can take place in the home, school, or community. A master’s level clinician will work with the treatment team to create and monitor a treatment plan, inclusive of all goals specific to the child and family. She or he can work in conjunction with your child’s school, outside therapists, and other community members to assure continuity of care. She or he will also supervise other BHRS treatment team members, including a bachelor’s level therapist who would provide one-on-one support and behavioral interventions.Click here for the BHRS Referral Form.

Wonder Kids (WK) provides therapeutic and social relationship interventions for clients who have an autism spectrum disorder. These on-site social skills groups run with a maximum of 12 clients and are overseen by a clinical supervisor, as well as a licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Clients are given the opportunity to develop and practice social skills. WK is designed to run as a step-down program from traditional 1:1 Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS/wraparound) or other intense behavioral health service. Given that WK is a less restrictive service, it may be used as a stand alone service, in conjunction with a decreasing level of BHRS, or as an appropriate recommendation in a discharge plan. WK provides services using a 3:1 child to staff ratio. The overall goal of WK is to increase independence and age appropriate social skills.

The Creative Arts program offers an innovative approach to therapy. Our Creative Arts program has redefined the typical therapeutic group to include not only children but their families as well. Children with or without a diagnosis are welcome, as our certified music therapists will work to assure that each child benefits individually. Creative therapies can help all children by using multiple modalities to help them learn self expression and positive outlets, as well as enhance their creative play and imagination. Our certified music therapists offer private, group, and family instruction in the following areas: rhythm, movement, vocal, and instrumental.
If you are unsure that your child would be interested in, capable of, or benefit from participating in these groups or private instruction, our certified music therapists will schedule a one on-one session for assessment purposes. Click here to download more information on Music Therapy.
