Early Intensive ABA
Early Intensive ABA combines social and therapeutic activities: These services will be provided from age 2 through age 6 and focus on academic readiness skills, communication, beginning social skills and adaptive skills. Children are 1:1 with the BCBA in their home during these sessions with the caregivers/ parents also actively participating whether it be directly or by simply observing. Clinical recommendations will typically be for 25-35 hours of therapy per week for this model.
Social Skills
These services will be provided for children of all ages. Children will be staffed 1:2 with the BCBA and behavior technician for small group sessions. These sessions will work on teaching kids social and group skills to help with establishing/maintaining friendships, working cooperatively, and school readiness skills. These groups typically occur in the summer months. Availability is based on children and staff availability.
Focused Behavior Intervention
Following a functional behavior assessment, behavior intervention services are offered to children of all ages and young adults. Individuals will be staffed 1:1 with a member of the family and the BCBA during these sessions. Clinical recommendations will typically be 10-25 hours of therapy a week for this model.
Caregiver Coaching
Family Adaptive Guidance sessions would be geared to the management of challenging behavior, activities of daily living (ADL ie. brushing teeth, getting dressed), and teaching new skills for children of any age. Caregivers are required to participate in all of the sessions and the child may or may not be involved in sessions, depending on the goals. Clinical recommendations will likely involve individual sessions for the child first and then moving into a caregiver coaching model. Services cannot be provided without at least 80% caregiver attendance.
