Pacific Learning Center has taken step to ensure the highest quality programs are available through their numerous services. They branched off of Pacific Learning Center and depend upon them for constant support as well a having partnered with the Center for Autism Related Disorders (CARD), one of the worlds' leading organizations effectively treating children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). PLC has contracted with CARD to provide program consultation and on-going staff training. PLC selected CARD because of their strong history in the field of ASD, their experienced and educated staff, and their reputable curriculum that, when implemented effectively, leads to long-term successes and in some cases recovery.

Following the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a scientifically researched and empirically validated treatment method, CARD will work with PAC to develop individualized treatment plans. These plans will cover two areas, Behavior Management and Skill Repertoire Building, the blend of which allows clients to continuously progress and add new abilities as appropriate behaviors are acquired.

While each plan is tailored to the child's needs, it usually starts with teaching basics skills including language/communication, play, self help, motor and school skills. Building from this foundation, more advanced skills are taught including theory of mind, social skills, and executive functioning. CARD's comprehensive curriculum approach ensures that relevant academic and socialization needs are met providing children the best chance for complete educational mainstreaming.

Each child entering the program will be at a different level. Based on the level and the child's particular needs, determinations will be made concerning the number of inclusion and group skills to be worked on vs. their needs for 1:1 therapy. The early intervention plan typically consists of intensive treatment in which basic skills are taught in the first years and advanced social and language skills are taught in the final years.
