Our Community and Home Therapeutic Services (CHTS) Department supports children and young adults (up to age 21) with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other learning needs. By partnering with families to provide effective therapeutic services and learning opportunities, we are able to promote greater independence and help children live a joy filled life.
All our programs are founded on the philosophy that children and young adults benefit significantly when their families are active participants in their educational and therapeutic programs.
The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Program prepares young children behaviorally and academically for placement in the least restrictive school setting possible. Programming is based on empirically validated treatments. The therapeutic services provided through our ABA and ABA clinic programs include:
Through our ABA and ABA clinic programs we can service children:

If there is a service for your classroom, school, student, or program/agency you’re interested in but it isn’t listed, please contact us to discuss.
ABA/HBTS Clinics are offered at 73 Branch Pike, Smithfield, RI.
Parents and guardians are welcome to contact us directly for ABA, HBTS, and PASS referrals. We will initially conduct a telephone interview between a staff member and the family to determine if the services offered are covered and if they will meet the child/family’s needs.
Once we determine that the program is appropriate, our team will meet with the family and the child to identify appropriate goals. CHTS then prepares a personalized treatment plan and submits it (with supporting documentation) to the funding agency for approval. Once the plan is approved and the staff members are identified, services will begin.
School departments, private schools, and agencies may contact CHTS directly for school consult services.
