Our Autism support program is individualized, to enhance the acquisition and use of communication, sensory processing, motor abilities, cognition, and social interactions.

Our therapists combine several approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, communication and social skills training, and modeling real-life situations to help develop skills such as recognizing feelings, coping with anxiety, and building confidence and self-advocacy skills.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy typically focuses on training a child to recognize a stressful situation (such as visiting a new place), and to select a specific learned strategy to cope with the situation.

At River, we believe that parents, caregivers, and siblings play a critical role in their child's therapy. We also offer workshops, education, and training to create a complete support system.

At River Therapies, we believe in helping those with special needs navigate and succeed in the workplace. Our counselors and life coaches are invested in your success and will ensure you receive the support you need to be successful and advance in the workplace.
