Our Goal
To provide the highest quality interventions for individuals with Autism. We utilize current research in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) which includes an analysis of Verbal Behavior (VB) to improve communication, behavior, toileting, social skills, and more.
Why Choose Potential, Inc.
When it comes to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), parents often feel overwhelmed and are unsure where to turn for help. While there are plenty of opinions to be found, all experts agree that intervention at an early age is vital.
We understand the emotions that accompany an initial diagnosis and want to work with families to help their children (infancy-adulthood) learn to achieve their full potential. “One of the first things I tell every parent I meet with is that, while there is no cure, there is treatment.” — Kristine Quinby, Founder, President and CEO
Our staff has seen a wide array of techniques used and firmly believes that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a well-rounded approach to helping children with ASD grow socially, cognitively, and emotionally.
Potential, Inc. serves individuals of all ages. Since our inception in 2006, we have served over 135 individuals. Our therapists are trained in ABA-Verbal Behavior (VB), and services may be delivered at home, the clinic, a school, or in the community. Each client’s strengths and weaknesses are assessed to design a comprehensive program unique to his/her specific needs.
Potential, Inc. also utilizes an experienced, licensed, and ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist to provide evaluation and treatment. Its vocational program for adults is ACRE-certified. Parent training is offered for the generalization of skills and support.
