After reviewing the medical records, an evidence-based support diagnosis is carried out. This is accompanied by conducting structured interviews with parents and school and, if necessary, behavioural observations at school and home.
Based on the diagnosis, a detailed treatment plan with short- and long-term support goals is created. These goals are quantifiable and observable.
The treatment plan is implemented with continuous data collection. Based on the data and feedback from the parents, the treatment plan is adjusted if necessary.
Every 6 months, a development report is prepared documenting progress. The need for continued treatment is assessed.
The "Teaching Tree Clinic" was founded in 2014 as a sole business by Veneta Dimitrova to address the needs of children with ASD within the US military and NATO contingent in Ramstein. By 2020, hours worked grew by 1900%, the clinic became the largest employer of behavioural analysts in Germany and occupational and speech therapy were added to the services offered. In 2021, the "Teaching Tree Clinic" became an organisation with the name Ausblick Therapie GmbH. Shortly after its foundation, Ausblick opened two more clinics in Hochheim and Amberg and we signed the first contracts with various municipalities to offer our therapy services to German clients.
At the end of 2024, Ausblick Therapie GmbH will be transferred into a company under steward ownership. This would make us the first company in Germany from the medical-therapeutic sector to take this step. In the spirit of steward ownership, we are committed to remain independent of stock market value as a measure for success, and use our profit to advance Ausblick’s purpose.
