How It Works

Understanding your child

We collect fundamental details concerning your child's abilities, areas for improvement, and hobbies prior to arranging an initial evaluation.

In-depth assessments

We carry out a thorough evaluation, formulating a comprehensive treatment strategy derived from engagements and observations.

Tailored care for your child

After receiving approval from your insurance provider, a BCBA and RBT are designated to your child to commence tailored therapy sessions.

Home-Based ABA Therapy

An ABA therapist will come to your home and work one on one with your child to guarantee individual attention.

They will work to identify problematic behaviors and help the child develop through and past them, by guiding the child’s positive learning, communication, and social skills

School-based support

Working together with the child’s school will further help the Floortime therapy be most effective and consistent.

Our team will help educate the school and train them to incorporate the ABA therapy methods, to better help advance the child in all environments.

Parent Training

Parental support plays a critical role in every child’s success.

To ensure the ABA therapy be most effective, parents and caregiver are educated and trained to handle any challenges they may face.

The child will do best when all the strategies are implemented with consistency at home.
