A Unique, Collaborative Autism Program at Goshen Speech & Hearing Center

At Goshen Speech & Hearing Center, we offer a one-of-a-kind ABA program designed for children with autism who also require intensive speech therapy, feeding therapy, PROMPT, apraxia treatment, and oral-motor support.

Unlike traditional ABA programs, ours is fully integrated with highly specialized speech-language and feeding services — all delivered in one coordinated, center-based setting.

Why Our ABA Program Is Different

Many autistic children benefit from both ABA and intensive speech and feeding therapy. Most families must piece these services together separately. We combine them.

Our ABA and Speech teams collaborate daily to ensure:

Shared goals
Unified treatment plans
Consistent strategies
Faster progress across communication, behavior, and feeding
One schedule, one location, one coordinated care team

This model eliminates fragmented therapy and provides a seamless therapeutic experience.

Integrated ABA Therapy

Our BCBAs and RBTs specialize in:

Behavior shaping
Increasing communication (verbal, AAC, or natural language)
Mealtime behavior support
Flexibility, tolerance, and participation in new routines
Reducing avoidance, rigidity, and feeding-related behaviors

Specialized Speech & Feeding Intervention

Provided by SLPs trained in:

PROMPT (as clinically warranted)
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Motor-based feeding therapy (chewing, jaw stability, tongue lateralization)
Structural feeding considerations (post-tie release, oral-motor weakness)
Sensory-based feeding programs (food chaining, graded exposure)
Oral-rest posture and myofunctional support

Collaborative Treatment Model

Co-treatment sessions when clinically appropriate
Shared data collection across ABA and SLP services
Weekly interdisciplinary case reviews
Embedded communication and feeding goals throughout the ABA day
