WHO DO WE HELP?
The Loden Group helps children with developmental, behavioral and learning challenges.  The children we help often have a formal diagnosis, though one is not necessary to utilize our services.  Some of the  formal diagnoses that we are currently  working with  include ADHD/ADD, Asperger’s, Apraxia, Autism, Bipolar Disorder,  Dyslexia, Down’s Syndrome, Eating Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder,  Pervasive Developmental Disorder, William’s Syndrome, Tourette Syndrome, Semantic/Pragmatic Disorder and more.

The Loden Group is certified through the State of Arizona, Department of Developmental Disabilities to provide Habilitation, Respite and Attendant Care services.  There are program options for both children who do and do not qualify for DDD services.
 
HOW DO WE HELP?
For Habilitation programs, we begin by meeting with the parents and getting a developmental background along with discussion of the current issues that led them to The Loden Group.  Then we meet with the child, working hands-on with younger children and talking/interviewing older  children (teens).   Together with the family’s input, we write goals and then The Loden Group will write the intervention plan based on your child and the goals.
 
For home-based programs, once your child’s plan is written, your consultant will come train your family and any related providers how to implement the strategies on a daily basis. 
For school assistance, the consultant will observe your child in the school setting on one or more occasions.  You, the consultant, and the school team then meet to go over strategies that will help your child succeed in the school environment.  Your   consultant will also help you with strategies to work on at home that will assist your child to be more successful at school.You may also choose to have your child’s program encompass home, school and the   community.  Your consultant will program for each aspect of your child’s life.
All programs and strategies are written and given to the family.  Your consultant will also give you an original set of the appropriate materials to collect data on your child’s progress.
