Center-Based ABA Therapy
Our Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy helps children build important skills such as communication, play/social skills, and adaptive living skills.
ABC of NC uses a variety of evidence-based educational techniques within a caring environment to help children develop their full potential. Services include:
- Community outings/field trips for generalization and expansion of child’s interests
- Ongoing supervision by ABC of NC program supervisor
- Coordination of additional services when appropriate (e.g., provision of one-on-one aide for preschool or day care center; school observations by consultant)
- Individualized curriculum development
- Fully trained staff of technicians who provide one-on-one therapy
- Team meetings for family and educational team
- Written report following each team meeting
- Phone/e-mail consultation with parents
- Consistent data-based and qualitative evaluations of a child’s program and progress
- Attendance at child’s IEP (Individualized Education Plan) and/or IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plan) meetings
Center-based ABA therapy services are designed for individuals who may:
Be very early learners and/or may have never been enrolled in an autism-specific program
Be having difficulty in or may not be ready for group education settings
Have limited language skills, both expressive and receptive
May have limited play interests
Have difficulty with peer interactions
Have significant aggressive, self-injurious, or destructive behaviors
Students may receive from one to six hours per day of intensive 1:1 instruction, and schedules can be adjusted to suit the needs of each student/family.
ABC offers a diverse and holistic environment that encourages life skills for children with autism - exposure to all sorts of art and culture with class participation.
