The Kindle Center is a new resource in Massachusetts where children with autism can receive social skills training, eating assistance, speech therapy, and dance therapy. In addition, their parents can receive training in order to help their children at home. The Kindle Center motto is “Independence, Progress, Friendship, Learning, Success”, skills they would like all their students to achieve. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the basis upon which the center is focused. Arianne Kindle says, “ABA has been proven time and time again to be an effective way to teach children new skills and to teach appropriate, alternative behaviors to stigmatizing or maladaptive behaviors.”
