Autism Spectrum Disorders and other Special Needs

Demands placed on parents of a child with special needs contribute to a higher overall incidence of parental stress, depression and anxiety, and adversely affect family functioning and marital relationships.

New Beginnings understands the unique challenges of parenting a child with special needs. We provide creative teams to work with children with special needs and their families in outpatient and in-home settings. Our therapeutic services and consultation are uniquely tailored to each child and family’s needs. Clinicians consult with other specialists as needed.

Our Clinicians are skilled in:

• Educating parents to understand their child’s needs
• Identifying strategies to reduce family stress
• Linking families to educational and community services, medical care, and funding sources
• Creating routines and structure to improve family life
• Teaching parents the skills, cues, and helpful interventions to manage their child’s behaviors
• Collaborating with school personnel and service providers
• Involving parents in support groups to reduce isolation
