How Our Services Work
Every child is unique, which is why our services are designed to be individualized and provided in the environments where meaningful learning naturally occurs. Services may be delivered in the home, school, community, or through parent coaching sessions, depending on your child’s needs and goals.
Home-Based Services
Many children benefit from receiving services in their home environment, where they learn important daily living skills, communication, routines, emotional regulation, and appropriate behaviors within their family’s natural setting.
School-Based Support
When appropriate, services can be provided in school settings to support classroom behavior, social interactions, following instructions, transitions, independence, and academic readiness. We work collaboratively with parents and educational teams to help children succeed in the school environment.
Community-Based Services
Children often need support generalizing skills outside of the home. Community-based sessions may focus on social skills, safety skills, communication, waiting, following directions, shopping, recreational activities, and participation in community settings.
The Role of the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works directly with your child to implement the individualized behavior plan developed by the BCBA. The RBT teaches skills, collects data, provides positive reinforcement, and helps your child practice new behaviors across different settings. The RBT is often the team member your child interacts with most frequently.
The Role of the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
The BCBA is responsible for assessing your child’s strengths and needs, developing individualized treatment goals, training and supervising the RBT, monitoring progress, analyzing data, and making ongoing adjustments to the intervention plan. The BCBA also provides parent coaching and guidance to help families successfully apply strategies in everyday situations.
Our Team Approach
Meaningful progress happens when therapists, parents, caregivers, and educators work together. Our collaborative approach ensures that skills learned during therapy can be successfully applied at home, at school, and throughout the community, creating lasting and meaningful change for your child and family.
