The Program
Philosophy - The Margaret Murphy Center for Children emphasizes the
importance of creating environments and providing individualized supports to
children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. We believe that every
child is full of potential; potential that can be maximized here at our
Center.
The Approach - Through the
use of Applied Behavior Analysis strategies and methodologies, driven by the needs
of the child, we develop individualized treatment plans for the children at the
Center. These plans are comprehensive and address all areas of the child's
development. Individual progress is monitored by the use of ongoing data
collection and assessment.
