Featured Client

We currently have many wonderful children in our clinic. Our featured client for this newsletter is a little boy named Dallin. His mother has written a touching story about her family and their search for services along with their experience in our clinic. Please read the story in its entirety under ‘Client Stories’ on our website at www.behavioranalysts.com.

Learner Profiles

We continue to have many successful Learner Profiles in our clinic in Walnut Creek, CA and would like to extend an invitation to any family who wishes to participate in this service. Dr. Partington and a consultant work one on one with your family to identify the child’s existing skills and identify those skills in need of development. From this analysis of skills, we create individualized program recommendations for the child and teach the parents how they can help their child learn these important new skills. If you are interested in this service, please contact Autumn Bailey at bailey@behavioranalysts.com or 925-262-8523.
