I’m Thankful For You: Integrity Behavioral Solutions
(Editor’s Note: This article was provided by Ashley Wells and is part of Cooper’s, ‘I’m Thankful For You’ Campaign.)
Our daughter Lenorah is 4 years old. She has Autism Spectrum Disorder and MERLD (Mixed Expressive Receptive Language Disorder). She is a sweet girl with a LARGE village of teachers, therapists, family & friends. We are thankful for everyone in her life, but today we want to recognize her ABA therapy provider: Integrity Behavioral Solutions. We would like to honor the entire company, because every team member contributes to her success & demonstrates their dedication to providing high quality service.
After Lenorah’s diagnosis in 2016, it was difficult for us to find a provider as we live & work in a rural area. We did not really understand what ABA was or why she needed it. It took about a year for us to make the decision to start services. During that time, we talked to a few different providers, but Integrity was always our first choice. They showed genuine interest in our family’s needs, and took time to explain what ABA is all about easing our anxiety about therapy. It was very important to us for her to learn skills in a natural environment. They worked collaboratively with us to develop a treatment plan that supported our daughter both at home and at school.
The team sets fun and challenging goals for her. In the first six months of therapy, we tackled the tough task of potty training. They designed her own social story about being a potty princess and we had a
Hello Kitty themed potty party which was a great success! Lenorah is verbal, but echolaic often speaking in functional scripts. Prior to starting therapy she couldn’t tell anyone her name. Now she can easily tell you her first and last name, her age, her parents’ names, where she lives & more! The team encourages her to communicate in full sentences. Moving forward we are working on pre-academic skills like writing and counting. It is so much fun to watch her learn new things, and she is learning naturally, through play! We are impressed with her progress so far and look forward to meeting future goals.
Thank you Integrity Behavioral Solutions for making a major difference in the lives of your clients! A special thank you goes to her direct therapy team, Lianne, Erin & Tiffany!
