Building Blocks provides intensive home, school and community-based interventions to children who have a diagnosis on the autism spectrum, from birth to nine years of age, and their families. Building Blocks uses a developmental approach incorporating the principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis and Floor time. Our staff is trained in both approaches. We work collaboratively with Early Intervention programs and school systems, to supplement a child’s existing programs, not to replace them. Building Blocks is supported by founder and clinical consultant Karen Levine, Ph.D.

Eligibility

Children under the age of 3 years must have a diagnosis on the autism spectrum and be enrolled in an Early Intervention program to be eligible. These services are part of the Department of Public Health Early Intervention Specialty service program. (Birth to three).
