Who We Serve

New Summit is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy intended for children 18-months to 7-years of age on the autism spectrum within the Eugene/Springfield and Bend, Oregon areas. We serve children that have mild to moderate challenging behaviors, however, children with severe/high intensity self-injurious or aggressive behaviors may be referred to other resources.

​

Home-Based Therapy

Therapy is provided in-home in a 1:1 with the client and therapist. New Summit uses a variety of intervention methods, making sure that therapy is provided in a way that is enjoyable for the client. We request that a quiet room with a table and chairs is provided as the main setting for therapy; though, therapy may also occur in other parts of the home and through a variety of play. An adult must be present within the home but are not required to participate during the entirety of the session. Home-based therapy can occur in conjunction with clinic-based therapy. 

​

Clinic-Based Therapy

ABA therapy services can be conducted at one of our clinic locations. Therapy that occurs in the clinic does not require a parent/guardian to be present. Clinic sessions can occur in conjunction with home-based therapy to supply the most cohesive model to promote generalization of skills across multiple settings.  Clients within the clinic setting will be able to work on social/peer play skills within peer social groups.

​

Community Based Therapy 

Depending on the child's need, along with insurance approval, therapy can occur within the community. Therapy within the community would occur in areas with socially significant behavioral need. Examples include working on exploring a playground, rigidity of particular environments, or following safety commands in novel environments, and so forth. 

​

Family Guidance

Parent/Guardian consultations will be a part of your child's therapy and can occur with or without the child present. Consultations can happen monthly or quarterly depending on the need of the family. During family guidance, parents will learn about ABA principles, their child's progress, current behavioral/developmental concerns or any other topic that would benefit the client's progress or the family in regards to ABA. 

​

Service Hours

Services are able to be provided Monday through Thursday, 8:45am-5:45pm. Fridays are reserved for trainings and make-up sessions. Therapy sessions are provided on a weekly basis. Days/times are subject to staff availability. Please note, evening sessions are the most sought after and tend to fill quickly. ABA services provided by New Summit are an intensive model. Clients are expected to be scheduled for a minimum of 4 therapy sessions per week (~10-hours per week) to maintain services unless the BCBA determines otherwise. Services are provided in a block schedule format.

​

ABA Service Requirements

The following needs to be provided in order to qualify for ABA therapy services with your insurance provider: 

• Medical autism diagnosis report​. An educational diagnosis does not qualify for insurance based services.

• Referral for ABA. This is usually stated within the diagnostic report but can also be obtained from a physician.
