The ALMC, LLC was founded in 2002 as a specialized multidisciplinary consultation service for local public schools to provide integrated educational and therapeutic programs for children with developmental disabilities with a specialized focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder. Out of this work the ALMC saw a need for a program that offered a continuum of services.
In response to this need, the ALMC Vermont founded its first independent school for children with developmental disabilities in the rural community of Morrisville, VT in 2004. Since then, our independent school has grown from one location to three throughout northern Vermont.
Through our work with the local schools and our independent schools, we identified the real need for collaboration between the educational community and the medical community in order to successfully support a child from diagnosis to provided services. Based on this need, the ALMC, LLC started a specialized developmental behavioral medical practice: Vermont Developmental Behavioral Medicine.
During the past eight years, our multidisciplinary staff of experienced professionals utilized our collaborative approach to create the DOBI Model (Domain Oriented Behavioral Intervention). The DOBI model is based upon principles of inclusion, integration, and participation, and represents best practices in a cost-effective approach to promoting equality of access for those with special needs and circumstances. DOBI® operates on the foundations of education that are proven to be universal, global, and timeless.
ALMC International utilizes DOBI® for large scale implementation as a management system for communities or nations to adopt to promote system change. It supports a systematic paradigm shift using a train the trainer approach that is adaptable to cultural individualities and can be established regardless of resources available.
