TWIST Program

TWIST Program

5 through 21 years old

TWIST, or Therapy With Integrated Social Time, is a fun and dynamic program for school-aged kids and teens. The program is designed to teach skills, support developing friendships, and have a lot of fun. TWIST is a center-based afterschool program that uses ABA therapies to further develop social skills, promote and teach higher level communication, and target appropriate behavior. This program integrates mindfulness activities, clubs for special interests, leadership opportunities, public speaking, collaboration, sportsmanship and more. By learning, using, and practicing skills with a safe group of peers and adults, children and teens build confidence to use the skills in their daily lives outside of therapy as well.

The bottom line - we truly LOVE what we do and have as much FUN learning as your child will each day.

But, hey, don’t take it from us, here’s what some of our families have to say about us:

Our son received therapeutic services through PLAN from age 5 to 9. From in-home services and TWIST to observing him in the classroom and their participation in the IEP process, we are incredibly grateful for the support he and our family received. We've seen marked growth in his executive functioning and social skills, so much so that he recently graduated from TWIST. Now, as parents, we continue to work with the staff to help him apply what he learned in the new situations he encounters at school, at home, and with friends.

Bob & Cora (therapy for son 5-9 years)

PLAN has been the greatest gift for our family and I would not change a thing about our experience. Our twins have developed skills that have allowed them to grow individually and also thrive in a school setting. The staff working at PLAN are wonderful and any child on the autism spectrum would be lucky to receive ABA therapy from such a fantastic center.

Carissa (twins 3-6)

Our daughter Harper was diagnosed with Autism shortly after turning two years old. After about a year of driving all over the state, spending more time in the car than in actual therapies, a half hour here and a half hour there, seeing no progress whatsoever, we finally found PLAN. For the first time since her diagnosis we knew we were doing the absolute best we could do for our daughter. In her years at PLAN, Harper learned how to speak, how to interact with other children, she was potty trained, she learned her numbers, her colors, her birthday, how to write her own name, the list goes on and on. The therapists at PLAN loved Harper like their very own and we will be forever grateful for all that they did for our girl and for our family.

Denise

When we first received the diagnosis of autism we felt like our world had shattered from underneath us. During that same time we found PLAN and little by little all the pieces started to come back together again. Miranda and her staff have truly been a godsend to our family and we are beyond thankful to have had the opportunity to work with them over the years. The huge strides my daughter made is without a doubt because of their hardwork and dedication. They work together like a well oiled machine!! I HIGHLY recommend PLAN!! They help you set realistic goals and knocked it out of the park each and every time.

Jen (mother, daughter was 3 when she started ABA)

Elijah came to PLAN right before his 3rd birthday and what they have been able to accomplish with our son is simply amazing! However, there is nothing simple about it. PLAN is invested in the growth of our son. Their team approach and communication is second to none. We are so blessed to have found PLAN.
