How long will I come for treatment?

Our treatment plans require a minimum of 30 one hour sessions Autistic patients require at least 40 sessions. The specific number of sessions will be discussed at the time of the evaluation. The frequency of sessions begins with four times the first week, then 3 times a week for 4 weeks, and then is usually reduced to twice a week. The more frequent the treatment sessions are at the beginning, the more potent each treatment is in enabling the brain to develop healthier patterns. Once your treatment is complete, most patients will not have to come back for further sessions. The brain will have learned to work efficiently by itself and will continue to be stimulated by every day interactions. We will maintain contact and observe aftercare for 5 years.
