Center-Based ABA Therapy That Builds Daily Skills

Your child benefits from hands-on activities and social opportunities

WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IS
What Center-Based ABA Therapy Looks Like
Center-Based ABA Therapy takes place in a supportive, structured environment created specifically for children who benefit from guided learning and routine-based skill building. Your child works on communication, social interaction, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and independence using activities that are engaging, meaningful, and tailored to their pace.
Our centers are designed to help children practice skills in real-time — through play, small-group activities, structured lessons, and hands-on experiences. Therapists observe how your child responds, identify what feels challenging, and create a plan that supports steady, noticeable progress.
Sessions typically happen multiple times per week and may include both one-on-one instruction and small-group practice. Your child works with a consistent therapist who understands their strengths, listens to your concerns, and helps your family understand how to continue supporting progress at home.
Your Child Has Multiple Needs
They're not just struggling with behavior, or just with communication, or just with eating. It's all of it. They need support in multiple areas and you're tired of managing five different therapists who don't coordinate.
You're Drowning in Appointments
Monday: speech. Tuesday: OT. Wednesday: behavior. Thursday: feeding. Friday: social skills. Your calendar is a nightmare and nobody's looking at how everything fits together.
Previous Therapy Felt Fragmented
Your child made progress in speech therapy but their behavior got worse. Or they learned skills in one setting that didn't transfer anywhere else. You need an integrated approach—not isolated interventions.
You Want One Team, One Plan
You're tired of being the only person connecting the dots. You want professionals who actually talk to each other and create one coherent strategy for your child.
WHO'S ACTUALLY WORKING WITH YOUR CHILD
Skills We Focus On
Every program is different because every child is different. But here's what Center-Based ABA Therapy typically addresses:
Communication & Language
Whether your child is learning first words, building sentences, or working on conversation skills—we address communication in every session. Not just during "speech time" but throughout the day, with every therapist reinforcing the same techniques.
Behavior & Emotional Regulation
Tantrums, aggression, self-injury, refusal—we figure out why these behaviors happen and teach your child better ways to cope. Then we make sure every therapist uses the same approach so your child gets consistent support.
Social Skills & Peer Interaction
Making eye contact, sharing, taking turns, reading social cues, maintaining friendships. We don't just teach these in isolation—we create opportunities to practice with peers and give real-time coaching.
Daily Living & Independence
Dressing, eating, toileting, hygiene, household tasks. We teach the skills your child needs for independence and make sure they're reinforced across all therapies.
Sensory & Motor Skills
If sensory issues are affecting eating, behavior, or learning—our OT addresses that while other therapists adapt their approaches. If motor delays are holding your child back, we integrate movement into everything.
Academic & Pre-Academic Skills
Attention, following directions, completing tasks, early literacy and math concepts. We prepare your child for school success across all developmental areas.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions About Center-Based ABA Therapy
What skills does Center-Based ABA focus on?
Therapists help with communication, emotional regulation, social interaction, flexible thinking, play skills, and daily routines. Activities are adjusted to your child’s developmental level so progress feels achievable.

The number of hours depends on your child’s needs and insurance authorization. Many children attend between 10 and 20 hours per week, with schedules designed to support consistent progress.
