Flexible treatment options offer families peace of mind

May 25, 2022

Challenge

For far too long, limited modalities of care have created a one-size-fits-all approach. This has taken choice away from clients and their caregivers and limited access to different populations. Because every client has their own unique needs, they deserve to receive individualized services that help them achieve their goals.

Our solution

Backed by evidence-based data, Catalight offers progressive new modalities of care and flexible treatment options for families and individuals living with developmental disabilities. To help improve outcomes and meet families where they are, we offer:

  • Power of choice — Throughout the care journey, parents can choose the best treatment options for their child and family. We offer a variety of programs to meet the diverse needs of our client population.
  • Parent-Led Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) — We put parents in the driver’s seat of their child’s care. With the support of a multidisciplinary care team, they are empowered to raise their child in a way that serves the special needs of their family.
  • New modalities of care — Given there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care, we support individuals wherever they are on their care journey by offering empirically based, naturalistic development and person-centered treatments. We continue to expand this service line to include new modalities of care.
  • Telehealth — Through Catalight Care Services, we deliver convenient and effective virtual services that save time and eliminate physical boundaries, helping individuals with limited mobility or in rural areas get the support they need.

Outcome

By focusing on person-centered care, we are able to help drive better outcomes for clients and their families. According to the Catalight Research Institute, Parent-Led ABA increases parental confidence by nearly 20% within the first six months of treatment compared to practitioner-led ABA treatments. In addition, the power of choice decreases stress and provides parents with peace of mind.
