An Important Update at the Williston Office

We will be adding video cameras to some of the client rooms in the Williston office. This will allow us to view programming without disrupting or having an effect on clients or staff.  It will also be helpful when we have additional consultation from other clinical providers.  We are excited to be moving ahead with Dr. Greg Hanley, BCBA, and his group who will be coming at the end of March to help us become more fluent with current evidence based Functional Analysis Assessments.  In order to get the most out of this consultation and learning experience for our clinicians and staff, we will need to have some video capability.  Please bear with us while we test out the technology.
