Program Overview
PACE Early Intervention is a collaborative effort of many professionals long interested in creating a progressive, effective program for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders using a combination of many of today's recognized treatment methods. PACE staff has traveled the nation to explore the country's finest programs and has molded them together in a model that offers comprehensive, intensive programming for children with ASD. Our staff has been thoroughly trained in the areas of child development, communication, sensory regulation, and intellectual development for children with ASD less than 6 years of age.

The fundamental philosophy of PACE-EI is that every child is an individual and thus programs should be built around each child's particular learning style. We also believe that there is no one method that is right for every child or the best way to teach for every need. We strive to provide our students with the very best of evidenced-based interventions, enhanced by those approaches that may be more cutting-edge. The program includes a number of blended methodologies that in collaboration provide for the unique needs of the child. The areas specifically targeted include the following key elements: communication, sensory integration, social relatedness, gross and fine motor development, play, and self-help skills.

Parents are an integral part of the EI program participating actively on the assessment team and on the development of each treatment plan. Parents have the opportunity to receive training in consultative sessions, as well as in individualized parent and family training, parent/family support groups and resource information.


Our goal is to provide a child and family centered, team approach that coordinates all services being provided so children can get the maximum benefit from their program in order to reach their highest potential. Each family is assigned a Case Manager who organizes team correspondence, data collection, reports, and encourages family participation at all levels.
