EXCLUSION CRITERIA

Who we can currently support

At REACH, our deepest wish is to open our doors to every child who needs us. Until we have the space, staff, and resources to do that safely, we want to be upfront about who we can currently serve best, so that every family finds the right fit.

Our commitment to every child and our honest limitations

At REACH, we hold firmly to the belief that every neurodivergent child has the potential to grow, learn, and thrive. That belief drives everything we do and it's also why we want to be honest with you from the start.Meaningful, lasting progress requires the right environment: one where your child feels safe, staff can offer focused and expert attention, and therapy can be reinforced at home. Right now, there are some situations we are not yet equipped to support well.

CRITERIA

Unfortunately, as we currently do not have suitable space and staff with the expertise for the following situations or issues – we need to exclude:

      1. Children who are so aggressive that they can pose a threat to employees and other children.
      2. Children with serious escape behavior.
      3. Children who are seriously ill and need (continuous) (medical) care, including medication during sessions.
      4. Children who live further than 60 km from the Haaglanden region.
      5. Children with such problems for which day treatment would be a better outcome.
      6. Unstable or unsafe home situation, as a result of which ABA therapy cannot be generalized to the home situation.

Furthermore, parents of REACH must fully support the principals of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and actively participate in the treatment, both at REACH and at home.

Research shows that parental involvement in ABA promotes even greater gains for the child. Parents provide critical insights and information that will help guide the development of the ABA program. Parents can provide opportunities for their child to practice skills learnt across the day – outside of the therapy context.
