About Us
SD Associates has been providing assessment, consultation, and training to schools, mental health agencies, individuals with disabilities and their families since 1990. For the past 10 years, our support has expanded to include direct service to children, youths and adults in school, home and community settings. For many, we are able to provide “wrap-around” support that enables individuals to remain in their home communities with their families
Recently, many states have passed legislation enabling private insurance funding for home-based support of children and youths with developmental disabilities. This has opened up a new resource for families and we are currently providing insurance supported service in Vermont and the upper valley region of New Hampshire.
It is our mission at SD Associates to provide evidence-based services that will enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. We believe that all people can learn regardless of their challenges. We teach pro-social skills that enable meaningful community integration and support effective life long learning.
At SD Associates, we are committed to providing evidenced-based services to support durable and generalized learning. For individuals with developmental disabilities, those services are applications of applied behavior analysis (ABA), the science of human behavior. Upon acceptance of a referral, each client is assigned a licensed and board-certified behavior analyst (LBA/BCBA) who conducts and oversees functional analyses of the behaviors of interest and any relevant repertoire assessments. S/he then designs the behavior support plans and teaching/learning procedures that arise from those assessments and supervises implementation.
