Autism Outreach, Inc. (AOI) was founded in 1999 by Michelle (Hurst) Carney and Leslie (Smith) Moon in an effort to provide children diagnosed with autism individualized programs. They also wanted to provide guidance and support for the families. AOI has grown from two consultants implementing individualized programs based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to a team of consultants who provide ABA programs (Verbal Behavior, Discrete Trial Teaching, Pivotal Response Teaching, and Fluency Teaching), social skills groups, and natural environment teaching to help with appropriate play skills. Our consultants attend conferences and review the latest research in an effort to provide the most up-to-date programming for each of our children. AOI consultants are BCBAs, BCaBAs, or are currently pursuing that certification.
