What we do
In Home ABA Therapy Sessions
A therapist works one-on-one with the child to develop core learning skills. Sessions alternate between learning periods and breaks to maintain engagement. Over time, learning portions become more complex and challenging.
A sample of activities may include:
- Counting 1-10
- Saying the ABC’s
- Completing puzzles
- Following simple and complex directions
- Social exchanges/conversation
- Following a schedule of activities
- Attending a small group
- Playing games such as hide-and-seek
- Completing daily living tasks
Early Intervention
We use a comprehensive approach designed to strengthen language and communication skills that is most effective when introduced early in a child’s development. We work with children as young as 2 years old, with the best outcomes typically seen when ABA begins before age 5. Our approach is guided by a comprehensive list of developmental milestones that children should meet between the ages of 0–4 years, helping us tailor support to each child’s unique needs.
When we are able to build strong early learning skills, families experience meaningful benefits—daily routines feel smoother, confidence grows, and the need for extra support gradually lessens. Our goal is to nurture meaningful social interactions during these critical years, laying the foundation for long-lasting progress.
Focused Interventions
Some individuals thrive when they receive focused support in specific areas rather than a full comprehensive program. These areas may include building bathroom routines, feeling comfortable with haircuts, visiting the dentist, or preparing for school. We follow a framework centered on core skills that people need as adults to foster independence, ensuring that every step is practical and meaningful. Support may involve direct one-on-one work with a clinician or parent consultation, always personalized to meet the family’s unique needs.
Parent Consulting & Family Guidance
As part of a comprehensive or focused intervention program, a clinician meets with the parents, guardians, or caregivers to gain information on events occurring outside of session, and collaborates with the family to develop solutions. The clinician provides the family with effective strategies to respond to behavioral issues and apply new skills in daily life. Families that participate in the treatment process have better outcomes.
