Building Blocks Center for Autism was established in 2004 as a division of Center for Pediatric Therapies. Building Blocks is dedicated to providing appropriate education, support, and information to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and their families. Building Blocks is also committed to providing resources and training related to ASD to families and professionals throughout Danville and the surrounding areas.
Building Blocks recognizes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as the research-based method for successful treatment of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Intensive instruction significantly increases the chances for gains in intellectual and social development. Helping children with ASD requires qualified and highly trained individuals working together with families.
