BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
Each child is unique, and a diagnosis is not about labeling or limiting a child.A diagnosis is about understanding a child’s individual needs and providing the necessary tools and opportunities to thrive. It’s important to understand that early detection and intervention can make a significant difference in a child’s development.
Identifying possible neurodevelopmental disorders early allows for better support and appropriate interventions to be tailored to the child’s specific needs.
VIA’s Behavioral Health Services support children and their families from the very beginning. Service offerings include initial diagnostic evaluations, Applied Behavior Analytic (ABA) early intervention and speech language therapy, psychological counseling, and school coaching and consultation services.
The goal of all VIA Behavioral Health Service offerings are to empower children and families to achieve their greatest potential.
