We specialize in providing personalized 1:1 ABA therapy in both home and school settings, ensuring that each child receives the support they need to thrive. Our dedicated team is committed to fostering growth and development through tailored evidence-based interventions.
ABA Therapy
Supporting your child’s growth can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our Behavior Analysts provide parent training and counseling to help you implement ABA strategies at home and across other daily settings. By equipping caregivers with practical skills, parents can learn to manage challenging behaviors, reinforce new skills, and strengthen their bond with their child, creating a more positive and confident family dynamic.
Parent Training and Counseling
Understanding the “why” behind behavior is key to progress. Our BCBAs conduct Functional Behavior Assessments and evaluations using tools like the VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R to identify each child’s strengths and needs. From these insights, we create customized Behavior Intervention Plans, to guide individualized treatment, social skills programs, and school-based services. These evaluations set the stage for meaningful, lasting growth at home, school, and in the community.
Assessments
& Evaluations
Our team provides comprehensive Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETSS) and Special Education Itinerant Teacher (SEIT) services to support learners with diverse academic, behavioral, and social needs in school and home settings. Our special education teachers deliver individualized instruction aligned with each student’s IEP goals, building academic skills, strengthening executive functioning, and promoting independence.
SETSS & SEIT Services
Social connections matter, and some children need extra support when engaging with others. Our social skills training groups are grounded in evidence-based behavior skills training, emphasizing modeling, rehearsal, and meaningful feedback. Through fun, interactive activities, and guided peer interactions, children stay engaged while practicing real-world skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Social Skills Training
Preparing for life beyond school can be challenging, and we’re here to help. Our transition planning and life skills programs equip teens and young adults with the tools they need for independence, vocational readiness, and community integration. Through individualized coaching, hands-on practice, and goal-oriented strategies, we help each learner gain confidence, self-sufficiency, and the skills to thrive in adulthood.
