Our Services

A comprehensive assessment is completed to gain a better understanding of your child's unique strengths and abilities across various domains. During the evaluation we will conduct direct observations of your child in their natural environment as well as parent interviews and standardized assessments. The results from the assessment are used to develop treatment goals.

Assessments and curriculums include: Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs), Behavior Intervention and Support Plans (BIP/ BSP), Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP), Assessment of Basic Language & Learning Skills Revised (ABLLS-R), Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS), Parent Stress Index (PSI-4-SF), Accept Identify Move (AIM), Balance Parent Training Program and Canvas: A Behavior Analytic Art Curriculum.  

Many ABA programs focus on providing long-term intensive therapy for a significant number of hours each week.  Our behavioral consultation service is designed for families who are:

• Currently on the waitlist for comprehensive ABA services
• in need of short term assistance 
• Looking for individualized recommendations on how to handle a particular behavior concern

Our parent education and coaching sessions teach caregivers how to implement ABA strategies in their homes and communities. We'll define the challenging behaviors you're observing, the motivations behind them, and the skills we can develop to replace them. The methods used during parent training sessions will differ depending on your family dynamic, priorities, and goals. We put a lot of emphasis on teaching you strategies that help you connect with your child, like how to engage in different types of play and respond to your child's needs and communication attempts.

Our parent training sessions may include coaching on how to:

• Connect with your child through play
• Develop rules and follow daily routine
• Effectively deliver instructions 
• Guide and motivate your child to follow directions
• Praise and reinforce desired behaviors
• Prevent challenging behaviors and utilize behavior management strategies

Our focused ABA therapy sessions are naturalistic, play-based and individualized based on the needs of your little one. We utilize the science of ABA to help your child develop new skills, refine previously learned skills, and decrease behaviors that interfere with learning, socializing and daily routines.  

Focused ABA therapy is appropriate for children who meet most of their developmental goals but still require support in a few areas. Our focused ABA therapy program is ideal for children who need support with:

• Communication skills (requesting, commenting, conversational skills)
• School readiness and homework assistance
• Transitions/accepting changes in routine 
• Tolerating disappointment or being told “no”
• Waiting/delayed gratification and impulse control
• Daily living skills (dressing, toothbrushing, toilet training) 
• Focus and attending skills 
• Independent leisure skills 
• Social-emotional and regulation skills
• Community participation 

Our focused ABA treatment programs range from 2 to 10 hours per week, depending on your child’s specific needs. Sessions are provided directly by a BCBA in the home, school or community setting.
