Autism Center of Northern California

JUMPSTART LEARNING TO LEARN JumpStart is an intensive, private week-long therapy program where families and their young children are coached one-on-one. Families are shown how to help their child overcome behaviors that stand in the way of learning, and how to promote development through improved communication, and improved social skills through expanding play interests . NEURODEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENT CLINIC NDAC begins with providing initial diagnostic assessments, differential diagnosis, and detailed treatment planning. We then continue to follow up with care over the years of your child's development. SCHOOL AND BEHAVIOR CONSULTATION CLINIC SBCC offers assistance with behavior interfering with home life or school participation, as well as help with bridging the gap between schools and parents. SBCC staff also provide help in development of autism-specific IEP goals, IEE’s, and expert litigation support . LAUNCHPAD: GETTING READY FOR ADULT YEARS LaunchPad provides families and adults with in-depth testing and consultation to support more successful navigation of key transitions in life and education. This includes guidance on post-secondary education, job-sampling, job-training, and leaving home to beginning adult programs or live independently. We recommend meeting as early as age 11-13 to begin to plan the next 10 years of education and development of adult goals based on learning trajectory in the first 10 years of life.
