ABC Marketing Plan

Program Overview & Services Overview:

The increasing prevalence of Autism has been recognized as the fastest growing

developmental disability in the nation, affecting one in 110 children. It is now the third

most common childhood disorder, more common than Down Syndrome and childhood

diabetes combined. In turn, parents need to be informed of the assessment, treatment, and

intervention resources available to help their children if diagnosed with autism. At the

Faison School for Autism (TFSA), we want to reassure parents that there is hope, and

through our services, individuals will be able to maximize their potential.

TFSA has established itself as the institution that parents turn to for support,

reassurance, and hope when faced with the uncertainty of their child’s future. Since 1998,

TFSA has gained notoriety for its holistic cause, extensive research, state-of-the-art

facilities, and individualized programs ensuring the best possible outcome for individuals

with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) or developmental disabilities (DDs).

To most effectively meet the needs of children with autism and their families, Faison

has developed an Applied Behavior Center (ABC) scheduled to open in 2012. This new

initiative will create a more timely early diagnosis screening for infants and toddlers who

may be afflicted with an ASD. A Licensed Clinical Psychologist (LCP) will be hired to

meet the ever-growing demand for extensive evaluation, assessment, and treatment

services.

ABC will work collaboratively with local service providers, school systems, and our

partners at Johns Hopkins’ Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) to create a progressive and

comprehensive treatment facility to best serve children’s needs. In addition, TFSA will

continue its partnership with medical practices and local, regional, and state agencies that

specialize in serving the developmentally disabled and those with ASDs.

5

With the passage of new legislation mandating the coverage of autism therapy for

children aged 2-6 years old by health insurance companies in Virginia, Faison can expect

to see a large influx of parents, who could previously not afford to pay out-of-pocket for

comparable services, now seeking treatment for their young children with autism. This

insurance reform bill will go into effect on January 1, 2012 and enable families with

limited financial means to receive the benefit of early intervention services offered at the

ABC.

While the Richmond community is well aware of the quality education, intensive

intervention, and innovative treatment options available for children at Faison’s day

school, the Applied Behavior Center (ABC) does not have as strong as a presence due to

its development in recent years. However, that does not mean that the ABC will not

achieve its full potential of establishing strong recognition by families affected with

autism in the near future.

It is imperative that Faison build strong working relationships with daycare providers,

pediatricians, related agencies, and family-friendly businesses to raise awareness of the

warning signs of autism and educate the public on what treatment options are available to

best serve them. Early diagnosis and intervention is crucial in order to improve the lives

of children/young adults with autism in our community, and Faison offers the educational

and therapeutic programs to accomplish that.

6

Services:

The ABC believes that all families should have access to behavioral and

consultative services that could positively impact the lives of children/young adults with

ASDs and DDs. While some children require the intensive daily management offered at

the TFSA, others benefit from more limited assistance through after-school visits or in-

home care.

Through the ABC, children with varying levels of functioning can learn coping

strategies and techniques that they can implement within their regular routine to improve

daily life. Services such as diagnostics and assessments, behavior training, social/family

support, therapy, and other developmental services not currently available for this

population in the Richmond area, will be provided at the ABC.

Moreover, the ABC is committed to serving children and adults in a variety of

capacities to meet the wide array of needs for Virginians with developmental disabilities.

On-site services are provided at TFSA campus between 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday

through Friday, while in-home services are offered on a case-by-case basis.

Below is a breakdown of ABC services:

• After School Program (ASP)

• ABA Therapy Assessments

• In-Home Consultative Services

• Parents Training and Support

• Social Skills Training & Curriculum Planning

ABC Marketing Plan Summary: The ABC needs to differentiate itself from other applied behavior analysis (ABA)

service providers in the greater Richmond area by stressing the variety of treatment

programs available for autistic individuals ages 18 months to 22 years. The ABC should

stress its six distinctive services ranging from on-site early intervention assessments to

intensive programming options in home, and other consultative services. Although cost

may be a barrier for some individuals inquiring about these services, the ABC needs to

emphasize that it is dedicated to providing the most cost-effective, beneficial, and

advanced capacities to serve the autistic community in Richmond.

Moreover, the public needs to be informed about the credibility, convenience, and

comfort that the ABC provides to its patients needing assistance beyond those services

offered at the day school. Through the ABC, families will be guaranteed an accurate

assessment of their child and given recommendations on how to address his or her

behavioral needs. Next, a curriculum will be developed focusing on specific areas of

development along with the implementation of a behavior planning emphasizing

individual strengths and weaknesses.

Specifically, the After School Program (ASP) should be advertised as a more

hands-on, enriching, safe, and productive alternative to daycare. The ASP offers a similar

model to the day school focusing on social and academic progress for students in a fun,

learning and recreational environment. In addition, the ABC’s other services, such as

ABA therapy assessments, in-home consultative services, parent training and support,

social skills training and curriculum planning, and BCBA and BCABA supervision, are

invaluable resources available to families who have children with autism or

developmental disabilities.

Currently, TFSA’s marketing tactics mainly involve its website promotion,

Facebook presence, student referrals through schools or doctors’ offices, and word-of-

mouth. It is crucial for Faison to broaden its reach beyond those mediums of

communication, especially when it comes to promoting the ABC, by recognizing what

marketing tactics would most effectively capture the public’s attention via print media,

online advertising, etc.

Most parents of small children obtain information about their son or daughter’s

health/behavior from pediatricians and the Internet. It is important that Faison establish a

stronger presence on the web in terms of social media, interactive online features,

blogging, and links to partnership/resource websites. In age of ever-advancing

technology, how, when, where, and why people interact changes instantaneously, and

Faison needs to make sure that it stays in constant contact with its audience. One of the

first steps to establishing a more concrete marketing plan is to determine how to best

reach out to parents/caregivers and encourage them to consider how the ABC services

could potentially benefit their child with autism.

Advertising in magazines such as Richmond Parents Monthly, Richmond Family

Magazine, Richmond Magazine, and the Autism Advocate would grab the attention of

parents already reading that content and encourage them to seek more information about

the ABC. Furthermore, the Richmond Times Dispatch garners extensive readership in the

Richmond community. While the web is becoming more dominant in how news is

obtained and shared, print media still offers a viable outlet for tangible information at

one’s fingertips. Refer to the Media Guide for further details.

In terms of online media, the above publications offer advertising avenues on

their websites, via banner ads, sidebars, blogs, etc. Also, the ABC should consider

promoting its services by advertising on mommy blogs including, Richmondmom.com

and Richmondmommies.com. These two websites in particular have become very

popular among mothers in Richmond who seek quick information about area services,

community news, parenting tips, and health advice.

11

Email marketing offers another innovative outlet to reach parents, pediatricians,

day care providers, etc. Websites such as constantcontact.com or verticalresponse.com

feature customizable, professional email formats, surveys, online newsletters and other

virtual marketing tools. Data reports, which monitor click through rates, are automatically

created every time materials are sent out to the contact base. Social media links to

Faison’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts could be promoted via email

marketing as well.

The ABC should also look into partnering with other local autism organizations,

such as the Autism Society of Central Virginia or the Central Virgina Care Connection

for Children, to gain more widespread appeal across the state and nationwide. The Faison

website could be linked on other organization web pages and vice versa to build

camaraderie and be able to connect with viewers personally affected by autism in some

way. This strategy would increase web traffic to Faison’s home page to ensure that

parents are kept up to date on the latest treatment and intervention options and new

developments through the ABC.

Furthermore, by sponsoring a major national autism organization, such as the

Autism Society of America or Autism Speaks, this would show community members that

Faison is not only supportive of its own students but reaches out to contribute to other

causes benefiting autism research, education, intervention, and treatment. This would also

connect the ABC with opportunities to participate in autism events, health fairs, and

medical exhibitions occurring nationwide, which would further raise awareness of its

services.

In terms of reaching out directly to the Richmond community, the ABC needs to

take advantage of its relationships with local day care providers and medical centers.

Parents who may be alarmed with their child's developmental progress or behavior may

seek advice on where to get their son or daughter assessed for autism via early

intervention. Advertising in facilities that these parents frequent on a regular basis

12

through visual displays, brochures, flyers, etc. will grab their attention and direct them to

the services available at the ABC.

Family targeted businesses and restaurants also attract parents and children who

seek recreational, entertainment, or dining options. Therefore, the ABC should consider

forging relationships with owners at these venues. A collaborative event, such as a profit

share, could be held at a popular restaurant where both the ABC and the restaurant

financially benefit. The ABC could also host a fundraising event at a fun, family-friendly

museum, which would appeal to regular visitors along with parents with children who

may have autism or a developmental disability. News agencies, radio stations,

publications and other media networks could be contacted to promote such festivities and

inform the public of the latest happenings at the ABC.

The media holds the key to grabbing the attention of viewers' eyes, listeners' ears,

and readers' hearts, and it is crucial to pinpoint which communication mediums will most

effectively and efficiently reach them. Journalists can instill in the community the

mission, values, and principles that TFSA abides by in hopes that potential clients will

inquire about the ABC's services and seek assistance for their urgent needs. A more

dominant presence in the media would ensure that the ABC maximizes its growth

potential by obtaining measurable results, such as an increase in the number of

appointments scheduled at the ABC.

Moreover, by setting realistic goals for its promotional purposes, the ABC will

pave a path toward creating a long-lasting legacy reinforced by its invaluable services

provided to children with autism and developmental disabilities.

Daycare Providers/Pre-schools:

Research Summary

Individuals who interact with children on a daily basis, such as parents and

caretakers, may pick up on the warning signs of autism after time. While daycare

facilities offer a traditional learning environment for children, those diagnosed with an

ASD need to receive immediate intervention at an early age. ABA enables professionals

to pinpoint the behavioral problem or developmental delay and determine treatment

options to best remedy those issues.

With hundreds of daycare facilities in the Richmond area, those service providers

need to be aware of what steps need to be taken if they feel a child in their care may have

autism.

Marketing Strategies

• Send letter about ABC to local daycare facilities

• Invite providers to tour Faison’s facility

• Printed materials promoting the ABC could be displayed inside these facilities

16

Pediatricians:

Research Summary

While health professionals are knowledgeable on various medical conditions, they

might not be fully informed on the extent of autism. Autism treatment, research, and

intervention methods continuously progress, and it is imperative that pediatricians are

kept up to date about this increasingly apparent childhood disorder. Parents rely on

doctors to be a reliable source of information about their child’s health, and they need to

be made aware about any possible behavioral and developmental issues their son or

daughter may face. Autism is often an alarming condition to be associated with a young

child, but it has become a reality for nearly 1 out of every 110 children. Therefore, early

diagnosis and intervention is crucial for a child to receive all the treatment options

available to improve his/her condition.

Parents need to be proactive, especially when it comes to seeking assistance for

their child with autism and seek a reliable source to turn to for medical center resources.

Faison needs to ensure the public that its ABC is most progressive, innovative, and

effective program of its kind in providing ABA and other consultative services.

The ABC at Faison has the potential to distinguish itself as the most equipped

facility in the Richmond area to provide early intervention options for families who have

children with autism or developmental disabilities. Increasing the number of doctor

referrals to the Faison School will be dependant upon marketing effectively in pediatric

offices and child development centers.

Marketing Strategies

• Letter to area offices- see Resource Guide for list

• Promote ABC with cardboard cut out with service information featured in

medical centers

17

• Host a special seminar for pediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc. to

inform them of the latest service offerings at the ABC
