About Us

Thank you for your interest in Wellspring! We hope this web site will be informative and reassuring. Please be sure to also check out our Blog for all the latest research and up to date information on autism treatment.

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 pants 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 him/her with the best possible future. My hope is that this web site will provide guidance of which 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 always develop at the speed you expect, but 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 his/her true 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 are confident that we will meet all the criteria for your autism treatment evaluation checklist. In seeking treatment for autism with Wellspring, you are on the right path.

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 his/her own unique way of expressing him/herself. Wellspring is more than just an autism treatment center. Our program directors have expertise in designing individualized treatment plans conducive to your child's learning style. As Behavior Analysts, it is at the core of our science to track and measure your child's development through the treatment plan. Our greatest reward is seeing the empirically-based graphs that show your child's progress or success. Not surprisingly, it is also 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
