Importance of in-person work
Before Zach finally reunited in-person with his Oak Hill friends in the fall, staff from the nonprofit Edinburg Center started coming to his home in August to help him develop social skills and learn strategies for becoming more independent.\
“So much is needing to physically be there,” said Sarah Faulkner about the importance of face-to-face communication.
Trenton Hoyt, a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) and a licensed applied behavioral analyst (LABA) with the Edinburg Center has been working with Zach since the summer of 2020.
“They don’t benefit unless we’re present,” said Carol Gillis, director of Autism Services and DESE/DDS Family Navigator at the Edinburg Center.
