Aggieland Autism Center

As a BCBA with years of experience assessing children with autism, Lynn Hawkins, MA, BCBA uses the VB-MAPP or the ABLLS to identify skills and possible barriers to learning. These assessments are research driven and time tested. They show what your child can and cannot do. These assessments also reveal how your child is learning from the environment: they show not just what they know but how they know it. 

Also, a full comprehensive evaluation or a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is completed with every client so that goals, objectives, and targets are based on parent, insurance, and developmental needs. 

These evaluations or assessments are part of the Aggieland Autism Center, LLC intake process. There is no charge to the families for the intake process (outside of insurance co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles due for billable services). These assessments along with interviews with the parents / caregivers are crucial to setting goals for treatment. We collect data and establish a baseline of your child's skills in order to meet your child they’re at. AAC is dedicated to helping you and your child reach your full potential using research driven assessments and evaluations.

Using 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis therapy for 30-40 hours a week, we combine super fun with super hard work to increase socialization, communication, and self-help skills. We increase motivation for hard work using the horses, power jeeps, flying kites, cool science experiments as awesome rewards. 

Also, using the results of the Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), we form a comprehensive intervention plan that will not only focus on decreasing barriers to learning or problem behaviors but will also increase skills for independence and more socializing. Goals for the research driven interventions are set by the Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and the parents. Your child's progress is monitored by the on-site BCBA, and weekly updates are made to individual programs. We have weekly meetings to discuss progress and concerns, as well as, diligently provide training for the families. 

Most importantly, AAC submits insurance reports and gains approval for ABA therapy. With this model of service, AAC wants to be a core component to improving your daily life for you and your child. We want to be a part of preparing your child for school, independence and success!

Here at Aggieland Autism Center, LLC (AAC) we will analyze data to show improvements and change treatments accordingly to support effective results. We prepare progress reports for periodic parent meetings and reports for insurance to ensure continued coverage of ABA therapy services at AAC.

Lynn Hawkins, MA, BCBA, LBA is thrilled to show you the above graph results (1 month). The problem behaviors (each color represents a different maladaptive behavior) decreased like never before! Previously, these behaviors were out of control with no end in sight. After 4-5 months of ABA therapy on the ranch setting the client began engaging in social skills that rewarded him with cool stuff and sharply decreased the problem behaviors that interfered with driving the power jeep or riding the horse. Mom saw a tremendous difference as did the hair dresser (the client’s first hair cut!!!), the grocer, the life guard, and the dentist. He became more social, began pretending with peers, and wanted others to play with him! 

Join us at the ranch in College Station, Texas, we want to analyze amazing results with you!
