About Us

Thank you for your interest in Wellspring! We hope this web site will be informative and reassuring.

To the parents of a child with autism (or other developmental disorder), I admire your courage to seek help for your child. Having an autistic child will change everything about your life, from whether you get enough sleep at night to enduring everyday challenges like buttoning your child's shirt during a tantrum. The demands of raising a child with a developmental disorder are great and families frequently experience tremendous stress coping with daily life.

Being a parent myself, I know the love you have for your child and your deep desire to provide the best for them. My hope is that this web site will provide guidance of what treatment to pursue and reassurance that your child's behavior will change for the better. Believe in your child's potential. The desired results might not develop at a comfortable speed, but you have to have faith your child will achieve the goal.

In the following pages, we provide a brief overview of the services we provide to empower your child to reach their potential. If you feel your child may be in need of behavioral services, we strongly urge you to get help immediately. Research and clinical practice has repeatedly demonstrated that early intervention is linked with positive treatment outcomes.

We believe the key to a successful treatment program is a plan that is specifically tailored to your child's behavior needs. Each child is an individual with their own unique way of expressing themselves. Our program directors have expertise in designing individualized treatment plans conducive for your child's learning style. By nature, we are behavior analysts that track and measure your child's development through the treatment plan. Our greatest reward is seeing empirically-based graphs showing your child's progress or success. It also seems to be the parents' favorite part of the treatment!

Whether you are a parent in need of services for your child or a professional dedicated to improving the lives of children diagnosed with autism, we look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,


Leo Landaverde

CEO of Wellspring
