How We Can Help

 

The Growing Place provides comprehensive and focused ABA therapy for children and adolescents ages 2-20, delivered across clinic, educational, and community settings. Treatment intensity, programming, and level of support needs vary by individual, with services organized across multiple facilities by age group to support developmentally appropriate care and peer grouping. All services are delivered under the overall clinical oversight of Owner Emily Fisher, BCBA, LBA, with three facilities individually led by Clinic Directors Taylor Smock, BCBA, LBA; Adrienne Shaw, BCBA, LBA; and Meghan Mares, BCBA, LBA. Services are consistent with the seven dimensions of applied behavior analysis (Baer, Wolf & Risley, 1968) — applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptually systematic, effective, and generalizable.
