Values-Driven Care
At TLBC, we take a values-based approach to everything that we do.
​
Our commitment to our values starts with an intentional identification of what is most important to us. We believe that by clearly defining and living by our core values, we can provide the highest quality of care and support to our clients and their families.
​
To ensure our values are at the heart of our operations, our team came together and participated in a collaborative exercise to identify the principles that guide our work. Through open discussions and thoughtful reflection, we landed on three core values: compassion, integrity, and growth.
​
These values are not just words on a page; they are the foundation of our practice and the driving force behind every decision we make. Compassion fuels our dedication to understanding and addressing the unique needs of each individual. Integrity ensures that we maintain honesty, transparency, and ethical behavior in all our interactions. Growth reflects our commitment to continuous improvement, both in ourselves and in the services we provide.
At TLBC, these values shape our approach and inspire us to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

Issues that define us
Anti-Ableism
The Language and Behavior Center is dedicated to anti-ableism in our organization by ensuring our clinical practices do not perpetuate ableist perspectives. This begins with evaluating client assent and collaborating with clients during the assessment process to the extent that they are able to participate.
Our commitment to anti-ableist practices continues through the development of individualized goals that focus on the autonomy of the client. It further extends to our use of natural environment teaching and compassionate services. Finally, it includes barring the use of escape extinction and compliance training that includes physical prompting.
We recognize that anti-ableism must include ongoing conversations with the autistic community and are committed to constantly bettering our organization to best serve our clients.
Racial Justice
Racism is woven into the fabric of our communities and it is our responsibility to identify its sources, discuss its damage, and commit to its dismantlement.
As an anti-racist organization, The Language and Behavior Center is committed to providing a safe space for dismantling white supremacist culture in our professional and clinical environments.
We acknowledge the existence of racial disparities in care in the autistic community and recognize that we must play a part to create equity in the communities we serve. This extends to ensuring our clinical practices are sensitive to the individual cultural differences of our clients.
We acknowledge the existence of racial disparities and discrimination in the workplace and are resolved to identify, discuss, and challenge these inequalities immediately. We are committed to inclusivity and equity in our recruiting, hiring, and promotion processes to ensure our leadership team reflects the community we serve.
The Language and Behavior Center publicly affirms its identify as an anti-racist organization and vows to continue the ongoing work to dismantle racism within our company and our community.
