Quest Kids - Early Intervention & ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) in Autism

Quest Kids - Recognizing the increased need for quality early intervention and therapy services, Quest opened the Quest Kids program in 1996. Quest Kids specializes in helping children with disabilities ranging from 15 months old to 18 years of age. About 40 percent of the children in the program are on the autism spectrum, while the remaining 60 percent have Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, pervasive development disorder, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities and other learning and behavior concerns.
Working hand-in-hand with speech pathologists, occupational therapists and educational professionals, Quest Kids develops and implements an appropriate path of learning that meets each child's specific needs. At Quest Kids, children are taught how to learn using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and are given tools to communicate.

Children receive intensive instruction in language, self-care, social skills, academics and decision-making. Through early intervention, children have a higher chance of succeeding in mainstream education, obtaining a career and fully participating in their families and communities.
