Collaborating with parents, caregivers, teachers and other professionals, CBC takes a client-centered approach and develops individually tailored goals to accommodate each child’s unique strengths and weaknesses. Our goal is for each child to generalize behaviors across environments to help them function to the best of their ability in all situations. CBC is mindful to always provide services in an ethical manner, which includes knowing when to begin fading services to promote independence.
