Underneath it, a BCBA is targeting communication, social skills, and self-regulation, and a Registered Behavior Technician is taking data the whole time.</p><p>Skills learned during play tend to stick, because the child is motivated and relaxed rather than complying. Meltdowns drop when the work feels like the child's idea, not a demand.</p></section><section><h2>In your home, across New Hampshire</h2><p>Because the therapy happens where your child lives, the new skills show up at dinner, at bedtime, and with siblings, not just in a clinic room.
