CARE Intervention and Assessment for Individuals and Families

CARE at the Haring Center directly supports individuals of all ages with neuro-developmental disabilities and their families by providing evidence based therapeutic, behavioral, and educational services. CARE works so that all members can reach their highest potential using a whole person/whole-system approach where staff work with the individual themselves, their family, community members, educators and related professionals. The goal of the work is for the person with neurodiversity to be able to create a meaningful, satisfying, and productive life by fostering social relationships, communication, academic and vocational skills, independence, self advocacy, daily living and self regulation skills specific to each individual.
