The OVA center in Gland
Based in Gland, Switzerland, our team of trained professionals helps children with autism to have a better future by providing ABA/ESDM care.
The center provides educational material and ressources adapted to each child, not always accessible for families due to its cost and specificity.
Our team works with the child on a daily basis, supervised by two BCBA certified psychologists.
The operation of the center and the professional practice of the entire team are governed by the OVA ethical charter and the code of ethics of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board.
Our customized support
An adapted care
Extracurricular care, based on the needs of the child with ASD, between 2 and 8 years old at the beginning of his/her therapy.
Personalized path
