Treatment Options

1. Full Time Day Treatment Program:

Services provided for private pay. The day treatment program provides 6.5 hours of intense ABA training for children with a diagnosis of one of the pervasive developmental disorders and/or other developmental disabilities, 5 days a week. The Day Treatment Program is not intended to be an alternative education program and is not TEA certified. Training is provided one on one as needed to teach the child in the areas of behavior management, social skills, academics, communication, and classroom inclusion.

The BTTC staff will work with the child’s public school district in providing assistance for inclusion opportunities.
