Improving Quality of Life for DeafPlus Children, Youth, and Adults

What We Do

We are a team of behavior analysts who specialize in providing effective, evidence-based interventions to Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind individuals with additional disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and ADHD. We work collaboratively with families, caregivers, educators and other professionals to develop programs that improve quality of life. Our work may address problematic behaviors, learning challenges, or other needs that impact a person’s ability to fully participate in home, school, and community-based activities.
