The situation of concern to determine the best fit services
What the goals of the family are and what appointments would look like
Any questions about what ABA is and what it can potentially provide for the family
Service fees

Book Consultation

Focused ABA (mediator model)

Our focused ABA approach is timely and efficient, combining behavior management, skill development, and parent training in one package. Our team:

Works with families to identify 1-3 target behaviors and concerns at a time and teach replacment skills
Conducts assessments to understand the reasons behind these behaviors
Designs personalized treatment plans to meet each family’s unique needs

1:1 Comprehensive ABA

Comprehensive ABA is provided through a one-on-one direct therapy model. Our therapist conducts a skills assessment with your child to identify the best initial skills to teach.

In contrast to our focused model, this model targets development in multiple skill areas such as communication, daily living, social and leisure.

We also offer a hybrid version that includes teaching strategies for parents!

AIM Curriculum

The AIM curriculum includes a behavior assessment to understand the child's or youth's actions, plus ongoing progress tracking by the family.

This training is perfect for kids and teens who struggle with flexible thinking, tend to be rigid, or act impulsively based on their feelings.

Triple P Parent Training

Triple P stands for Positive Parenting Practice. Triple P provides families with:

A toolbox of strategies that they can choose from to best fit their current situation.
Parent coaching that is offered in a virtual group format
Run once a week, across 6-8 weeks.
