Roots Consulting of New Hampshire, LLC is a group of  dedicated and experienced professionals who work to create individual programming designed for young children with challenging behaviors, educational needs, and specifically those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). We aim to provide a best practice model of education, support and training. 

The staff of Roots Consulting are skilled in using the elements of research-founded teaching strategies, such as the principles and application of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) , the Verbal Behavior Model, and the picture exchange communication system (PECS).  Additionally, each staff member is experienced in theory and strategies of developmental model, sensory integration, and the incorporation of incidental and naturalistic teaching opportunities. We design appropriate, individualized programs through observation and curriculum based  assessment of the child’s skills and challenges.  We work with caregivers to support well-rounded teaching, learning and generalization of skills. Autism support staff are supervised by an autism support specialist or BCBA level supervisor.

Various multi-level training opportunities are available for parents, caregivers, support staff and professionals working with young learners.  Our goal is to model appropriate instruction and support the settings where children learn and interact.  Small and large group trainings are also provided to individual programs and the community at large.

The findings outlined in the 2008 State of NH Autism Commission Report indicate significant gaps in appropriate and necessary programs including early intervention and community/professional training.  We aspire to meet many of the challenging recommendations made by the committee members.

“When I heard the words Autism in reference to my almost two year old son, I thought the world was ending…. After interviewing many ABA providers, I chose to work with Curran Pope and Roots Consulting of NH.  I feel very lucky to have found them.   I believe Curran to be a diamond in the rough here in NH.”
