ABA at our centers

Some things cannot be practiced at home, because home does not have them. Waiting your turn needs someone to wait behind. Handling noise needs noise. Coping when a friend takes the toy needs a friend who takes the toy.

Our therapy rooms are built for that. We can adjust what's around your child, with fewer distractions for children who need to focus and more going on for children who are ready for it.

A typical visit

Your child works one to one with a Behavior Technician for most of the session. Most of what we teach happens through play, because a child who is not enjoying the session is not learning much from it. To your child, it feels like time with someone fun. Behind every game is a goal we're working on.

Who is responsible for the plan

Your Clinical Manager is a BCBA, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, who writes the plan and owns it. They set the goals, read what comes back from each session, and change the plan when the record says a goal has stopped moving.

Your Clinical Manager will not be in the room for every session. Instead, every session's data feeds into graphs they review, which show them week by week whether the plan is working, and they observe the work regularly. The technician in the room with your child is trained and supervised to run the plan the same way every time.

You stay, and that is the point

A parent or guardian stays for the session, here as much as at home, or an approved caregiver over 18 in your place. We will show you what we are doing and why as it happens.

If your child works better with you out of their eyeline for part of it, we will find you a spot where you can still see and hear. What we will not do is send you home not knowing what happened.

Why families combine it with home visits

The center is where a skill is built. Home is where it has to survive. Many families do both, so a skill gets practiced in both places from the start. We change that mix whenever it stops making sense.
