Growing Minds Autism Programs

Growing Minds Autism Programs is a specialist in training parents to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger’s Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD-NOS), and other neurological and developmental conditions. With 30 years of experience, they have developed a program that integrates unconditional love and acceptance with evidence-based methods of Applied Behavior Analysis. Their approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of each child, and they work with children, parents, teachers, and other professionals from all over the world. Growing Minds provides services at their Colorado location, in homes or schools across North America and Europe, and through distance consultations anywhere in the world. Their experienced team of professionals, led by Founder-Director Steven Wertz, BCBA, has worked with over 1,000 children, adolescents, and adults across the range of the autism spectrum. The Growing Minds program enables children to feel loved, enjoy the company of others, and grow developmentally, improving language, communication, social interaction, and behavior, while also increasing academics, practical, and play skills. Parents feel more confident knowing what to do and how to do it, and the skills they gain stand them in good stead throughout their lifelong experience of parenting.
