4 THE SPECTRUM PREP
OUR History
In 2007, Nikki Moses saw a void with limited ABA services in the Collin County area. As a result, Nikki founded Consulting 4 the Spectrum to meet the overwhelming needs of families. Consulting 4 the Spectrum was the first ABA service provider to employ therapists and offer full-time in-home treatment services in Collin County. Over the course of her experience, she began to see that many learners were having challenges with generalizing skills to various environments. To fill a void in the community, in 2009, Nikki opened her first ABA treatment center in Frisco, Texas and later relocated to Plano, Texas in 2013. We currently offer center base services with a focus on direct treatment, parent training, group learning-social groups and private & public school-IEP/BIP guidance.
Nikki has always placed emphasis on quality over quantity and felt it necessary to control growth so that we never lose sight of why we do what we do. We have maximized our collaborative efforts with related service providers such as speech, occupational and music therapists to increase positive outcomes for our students. A significant part of our service structure is our holistic approach to learning. Our services far surpass direct treatment. Preparing students for everyday life, interacting with others and being able to connect with the world around them is the cornerstone of what we do.
Nikki’s vision has always been to develop an effective way to bridge the gap between ABA and education. As many of our students have transitioned to mainstream and inclusion settings, we have seen a tremendous disconnect with their behavioral and educational needs being effectively met in school settings. Our mission has been to expand our preparatory group learning program so that other learners can generalize skills to a group setting with a behavioral approach. We expanded our program in January 2017 and as a result, 4 the Spectrum Prep serves as preparatory group placement program for children with autism, 7 years and younger, with an early intervention emphasis.
Consulting 4 the Spectrum continues to have the same goal: to make a difference in lives, one child at a time.
POSITIVE Outcomes
Our PHILOSOPHY
Consulting 4 the Spectrum strives to help our families see that anything is possible. Our goal is to make a positive impact on every child’s life. We take a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach to learning. All programs are individualized and we focus primarily on children learning how to be a kid again and connecting with the world. We make learning fun and offer a nurturing environment for children with autism to learn, grow and thrive.
We provide every family the opportunity to access high quality services. We also offer families the opportunity to explore options to help their child succeed through each phase of their life. Our program is tailored to every learner’s unique abilities. Your CHILD COMES FIRST in everything we do.
Although autism is a very complex disorder, we do not lower our expectations. Understanding the challenges are important, but it is equally important to uncover your child’s strengths and unlock their full potential.
What makes us unique is we are a “family owned” ABA provider whose number one priority is serving our families. We provide individualized attention to each of our families whereas they will never feel like a “number,” but an extended part of our family.
