Spectrum Child Development Services (SCDS) is an affiliate of Northwest Behavioral Associates (NBA), a dedicated, United States based organization providing evidence based services for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related diagnoses.
SCDS addresses the need for children with ASD to receive individualized intervention and the right to be included in all walks of life, beginning in the early stages of mainstream education.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive service delivery model for families, both English and Arabic speaking, where their children can flourish. Our intervention approach is completely individualized and, as such, can be successful for children across the entire spectrum of Autism, from those who are not able to speak to those who need assistance with minor issues. Our ultimate goal is to develop adults who can live as independently as possible in a fulfilled manner. A secondary goal is to work with the local community to bring awareness to ASD diagnosis and to create a climate of acceptance and understanding.
