Applied Behavior Analysis
We now offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for our clients. ABA is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior, and it can help you understand your child. Through ABA, your child can increase their language skills, improve their attention, focus and memory, and we can help reduce some of the behavioral problems you may be experiencing with your child. Learn more about how it works, how we help, and how you can get started!

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a kind of research-based behavior therapy for people with autism and other developmental disorders. Its goal is to see an increase in positive behaviors and a decrease in negative behaviors. Children can also learn new skills and improve their social interactions. Many studies have proven the effectiveness of ABA.

Services can take place in your home or at your child's school. Other locations will depend on individual goals.

Absolutely! Caregivers are a critical part of the team. If caregivers are implementing the intervention when we are not present, success is much more likely.

We typically begin with an intake session with parent/caregiver(s) only. We will discuss at the presenting concerns (challenging behavior, skill acquisition, sibling conflicts) and decide on a plan for initial assessments/intervention strategies. Initial assessments/sessions are typically completed within 6-8 sessions. We then discuss individualized next steps based on assessment results.

We do not take insurance. We are an out-of-network provider. We are happy to provide you with a superbill, but we will not communicate with your insurance provider directly. You can read more about our fees and why we don’t take insurance on our Fees and Insurance page.

Occasionally, we can provide services when a sitter is present. We ask that parents are home for the majority of sessions so we can problem solve together. If we are working with your child at school, we will discuss a separate arrangement for collaborating with both the school team and the home team.

ABA services provided in-home aim to improve the quality of life for individuals by promoting positive behavior change, enhancing functional skills, fostering independence, and facilitating successful inclusion in various environments. These sessions take place within the client's home where the behavior analyst works closely with the individual, providing one-on-one instruction, positive reinforcement, and continuous data collection to track progress and make data-driven decisions. They also collaborate with family members and caregivers, providing training and support to ensure consistency and generalization of skills across various settings.

Our team recognizes the unique challenges that families face when raising multiple children. Sibling services provide families with strategies to navigate sibling conflict and promote overall family harmony. This often looks like a team member woking directly with your children on their social skills, conflict resolution skills, and/or psychological flexibility. Our goal is to help your children better understand each other's behavior as a way to strengthen their relationship.

School-based services are provided in your child's school and involve the application of behavior analytic principles and strategies to support students development. ABA services in schools aim to address specific behavioral goals identified in the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) or behavior plan, such as reducing problem behaviors, increasing social skills, improving academic performance, and enhancing self-help skills. The services may include direct instruction, behavior management techniques, data collection and analysis, collaboration with teachers and staff, and training for educators and caregivers to ensure consistency and generalization of skills across different school environments. The goal of school-based services is to promote the student's overall academic and social success, inclusion, and independence.
