This program provides services based on the principles of applied behavior analysis at a lower intensity than the early intensive behavioral intervention program. The need for structured discrete trial intervention within this type of program is likely low and collaboration with other service providers (e.g., the child's school) is necessary to ensure consistency across settings. Priorities usually include social skills, executive functioning, organizational skills, community participation, and/or self-help/daily living skills.

Community-based ABA can happen anywhere from playgrounds to day cares to grocery stores! Anywhere that your family needs support in teaching and reinforcing the skills necessary for success in each individual environment.

Parent involvement and training are an essential part of ABA therapy. When parents are active participants in their child’s treatment, the child is more likely to be successful. Parent training helps your child generalize their skills – taking the skills they are learning in the therapy center to their home, school, and community. During parent training sessions, we focus on providing you with knowledge on behavioral concepts and strategies to maximize your child’s success and improve the quality of life. These sessions are customized to meet the needs of your family and child. We work together to help you with your child on things such as communication, self-help skills (e.g. getting dressed and potty training), social skills, and addressing problem behaviors.

Measures specific skills which constitute a designated curriculum. The skills measured are quantifiable and measurable and can be used to document baseline and skill acquisition. The results of the assessment are used to establish priorities and the most effective intervention program.
