Our Approach

At Pillar 5, we stand on five core pillars to deliver personalized, evidence-based strategies that create lasting, positive change. Collaborating with families and communities, we foster supportive environments where each client can thrive and reach their full potential.

Many techniques, only one direction: forward!

INDIVIDUAL ABA APPROACH

An Individualized ABA approach

Pillar 5 was created to bring a family-centric applied behavior analysis (ABA) approach to  improve the lives of children and families with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention  deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), and other developmental disabilities. Our goal is to  help clients with developmental disorders live happier, more independent lives by working  together to provide a complete ABA treatment program. We recognize the significance that  each family member plays in the development of our clients because they are their most  essential and consistent models of behavior. We individualize solutions that are  adaptable to the client’s natural environment, considering the family's wants, needs, and  strengths.

Wherever is best for our clients…we go: In-home, in-school, in-community, in-center

In-Home

We bring ABA Therapy to the home where clients feel the most comfortable.  Our  technicians will also train caregivers on the most effective techniques to help encourage  positive behavior growth beyond treatment hours.

In-School

As a school shadow, we can serve our clients as a 1:1 aide during the school day and after school programs.  Our support is centered around meeting IEP goals including on-task behavior, functional communication, inattention, hyperactivity, and social interactions.

In-Community

Side-by-side with our Behavior Technicians, our clients can actively work on and develop  important skills in their everyday community environment.  Depending on age or need, this  can include the playground, daycare, youth programs, shopping, and more.

In-Center

Clients can also experience the benefits of a structured, distraction free supportive  environment with our in-center treatment option. Our center provides a controlled setting  ideal for working on skill-building activities, promoting positive behaviors, opportunities for  social interactions with peers, and ensuring progress.

A team approach: Guiding our clients from point A to all they can B.

COLLABORATION

Collaboration: Educators and other  professionals

At Pillar 5, we consider educators and other professionals to be a vital component of our approach and of our client’s "support network." We strive to support educators, speech- language pathologists, occupational therapists and other special education professionals in providing the most effective environment possible for our clients to learn.

We drive skill-based behavior up and maladaptive behavior down depending on our  clients’ needs.

DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH

A data-driven approach

For treatment to be successful, it must be individualized based on data. This aligns with  the science of ABA and allows Pillar 5 to continuously modify ABA treatment plans based  on progress. To evaluate the efficacy of treatment programs, BCBAs review data of treatment objectives on a regular basis. This information influences procedures, treatment  priorities, and the requirement for family and technician training. BCBAs will suggest either  focused (low-intensity) or comprehensive (high-intensity) ABA treatment based on each  client’s needs.

Building skills and unlocking lifelong potential.

IMPORTANCE OF PIVOTAL SKILLS

The importance of pivotal skills

Clients develop the essential skills required for future learning through Pillar 5’s focus on pivotal behaviors.  These are building-block behaviors which lead to an advanced skill set and increased functioning.  Some pivotal behaviors include imitation, functional communication, attentiveness, tolerance, and waiting.  This strategy encourages the development of play, academics, communication, social skills, and independent living abilities.
