What is School-Based ABA Therapy?

A black triangle is on a white background.

School-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a specialized intervention designed for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other development disabilities within the educational setting. It employs evidence-based techniques to address behavioral challenges, improve social skills, enhance communication abilities, and promote academic success.

Our ABA therapists create individualized treatment plans tailored to your child's needs. They utilize structured environments and positive reinforcement to facilitate learning and development throughout the school day. With this approach, we aim to foster a supportive and inclusive educational environment where your child can reach their full potential.

ABA Therapy Pairing

Central to our approach is the concept of pairing, where our therapist focuses on establishing a trust relationship with your child. Through engaging in enjoyable activities and meaningful interactions, the therapist becomes a reliable and supportive presence in the school environment. This process enhances your child's engagement, cooperation, and readiness for effective teaching and intervention.

and Social Skills

Our ABA therapists work closely with your child to enhance academic performance and develop essential social skills in school.

Effective ABA Teaching Techniques

We employ various ABA techniques tailored to your child's needs. Techniques such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT) break down skills into manageable steps, using repetition and reinforcement to promote learning. Naturalistic teaching methods, like pivotal response teaching (PRT), focus on overall skill development and independence within real-life contexts.
