What this is, in plain language

Melmark Pennsylvania combines an ABA-centred private school for students aged 5 to 21 with a residential treatment facility for autistic children and young people with severe, treatment-resistant distressed behaviour. It is an intensive placement-style programme rather than a walk-in outpatient ABA clinic.

Getting started

Call (610) 325-4700 to ask about residential treatment or enrolling at the Melmark School.

The questions we ask every provider

The same fixed set for every therapy & aba listing, so you can compare like with like. These answers come from published sources about the provider rather than from its own website: a ✓ means a source said so, and a – means nobody has read the provider's site yet, so we do not know either way. You will not see a ✕ on a profile like this one — ruling something out means reading the site.

  • Not known:Publishes its approach when a child is distressed or says no
  • Not known:Says parents can observe any session
  • Not known:Publishes who sets the goals, and whether compliance is one of them
