    • Promoting skill growth in everyday environments

  • A comprehensive ABA assessment is completed to understand your child’s strengths, needs, and learning profile. The process includes multiple observations, caregiver interviews, and skill-based measures. Information gathered during the assessment is used to develop individualized goals and determine appropriate services. A formal report is provided and serves as the foundation for all therapy services, giving families clear guidance and next steps to support their child’s growth.

  • Once an assessment is complete, therapy begins using individualized, evidence-based ABA practices. Services focus on building functional skills through engaging and meaningful interactions. Sessions are a minimum of 60 minutes in length and may occur as frequently as five times per week, depending on individual needs. Therapy is provided in the child’s home environment to support skill development within daily routines.

  • Family coaching provides caregivers with the tools, strategies, and support needed to help their child succeed. Sessions focus on teaching practical ABA techniques, reinforcing skills at home, and addressing everyday challenges. Coaching can be delivered virtually or in-session alongside the child, and is tailored to each family’s unique needs and routines. Through ongoing guidance and collaboration, families gain confidence and skills to support their child’s growth and independence.
