The CUBS program provides highly specialized, evidence-based services designed to meet the needs of children with autism or similar diagnoses and their families. Services involve a blended approach grounded in the principles of Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood Special Education, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). For more information, please check our CUBS flyer.

Every child is unique, which is why Kindering’s CUBS program provides supports tailored to each child’s individual strengths, interests, and needs along with those of their family. Each child will have a curriculum specifically designed for them that includes:

• Effective instructional strategies
• Play- and activity-based instruction
• Developmentally appropriate practices

Services may be delivered in the home, community, classroom setting, or individual clinic setting.

Parents also need support and coaching to assist in their child’s social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Based on the individual needs of the family and child, these services may include:

• Speech Therapy, Occupational/Physical Therapy, and/or Feeding Therapy
• Home visits for support at home or in the community
• Family counseling provided by our licensed Family Therapist
• Targeted practice on specific skills children will need to be successful in their next environment
• Collaboration and coordination with child’s school district, to assist with a smooth transition
