Our Services
Our mission at Trucogni Autism Services is to provide quality, tailored autism support programs for families as a whole. We offer individualized training for children 2-18 years of age as well as families looking to improve life skills, reinforcing learning and routine for a stress free environment. Our assent-based approach to ABA therapy is driven by small victories which lead to big wins. Whether it's a child’s first time communicating, interpreting their surroundings, or interacting socially, these opportunities for growth are how adaptive, strong, and resilient individuals build successful lives.

At Home ABA Therapy
Our At-Home ABA therapy services are aimed at providing autism support in a familiar environment for children who are not yet school age or require extra support after school hours.
Therapy begins with goal setting and a plan tailored to your child, outlining a structured path to achieve the wants and needs of your child and family. At-home ABA services can start as early as age 2, helping your child develop a foundation for communication and independence that they can build upon into adulthood.
At-Home ABA services can address a variety of parent and child-led goals, including:
- Reduction in problem behaviors
- Improved communication
- Improved social skills
- At-home independence
Trucogni Autism Services utilizes two approaches to implementing ABA therapy, known as Discrete Trial Training (DTT), and Natural Environment Teaching (NET). Each of these methods is effective in improving communication and life skills in children with autism and can be applied depending on the available learning environment and scenario.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT) – Considered a more structured method of ABA implementation, DTT teaches communication skills in a controlled setting, one-on-one with your child. Skills are broken down into discrete and manageable steps, with clear instructions given to the child. An opportunity for response is then provided, with immediate feedback provided to the child by the therapist upon completion. The nature of small, manageable steps and positive reinforcement has been shown to be highly effective in building a strong foundation for communication and continued learning.
Natural Environment Training (NET) – A more informal method of ABA implementation, NET integrates learning into everyday activities and routines in your child’s natural environment. New skills are taught and practiced within daily activities and play-based settings, making learning more spontaneous. Our therapists are skilled at identifying opportunities for learning and building skills within daily routines and changing environments, building resilience and independence.
Parent Training
Reinforce your child's learning and development by building at-home skills of your own. Trucogni Autism Services believes growth and independence can only truly be achieved when everyone works together on the same common goal. Our parent training curriculum follows your child's individualized plan, focusing on communication and behaviors unique to your child and giving parents and siblings the tools for success. Our parent training helps you implement therapy concepts when we are not present, allowing you to promote independence and successfully troubleshoot problem behaviors. We also teach you to advocate for your child, whether at home, on the playground, or in school, ensuring your child receives the attention and care they deserve.

Getting Started With ABA
Diagnosis
Getting started with ABA begins with a diagnosis from a medical professional. With a diagnosis, you'll have access to treatments, therapies, and support to help your child begin their journey to improved communication and learning.
Education
Once a diagnosis has been received for your child or loved one, It's time to educate yourself on the various types of support available to you and your child. Educating yourself is one of the best ways you can advocate for your child; choosing the appropriate care and therapies to fit your goals and child's personality.
