| Welcome to the ABT-Center of Dr. Vera Bernard-Opitz The
Center for Autism-specific Behavior Therapy (ABT) offers consultation, training
and supervision to professionals, parents, students and individuals affected by
Autism Spectrum Disorders. The Center is based Irvine, CA but consultation
available to clients worldwide via Skype.  To
provide effective help for children, adolescents and adults, Dr. Bernard-Opitz
uses behavioral methods which are based on scientific evidence and which are considered
‘best practice’ methods. ABT methods include ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis),
natural learning strategies, such as Pivotal Response Training, Verbal Behavior
and Precision Teaching.  In
many cases visual support, such as PECS, video-modeling, scripts and iPad programs
have been helpful. Higher functioning individuals often benefit from cognitive
interventions. A wide range of relevant guidance and practical solutions for individuals with Autism is also available through her talks, workshops and books. | |
