WHAT WE DO
Aura teaches our clients a variety of skills including self-expression, independence, social skills, self-awareness and coping techniques. We believe in the power of naturalistic play-based therapy on a human level.
Aura also supports clients with challenging behaviors (aka problem behaviors) such as extreme tantrums, aggression, self-injury, verbal abuse, non-compliance, etc. Our goal is to help each client and their family live healthier and happier lives.
We offer services in our client's home, school, community and virtually through Telehealth.
