In-House ABA
ABA therapy conducted directly in the client’s home environment uses NET (natural environment teaching) to maximize the rate of success in learning and recalling behavioral lessons. The home represents where a person is typically most comfortable, relaxed, and spends most of their time. This makes it easier to integrate lessons into everyday behavior where parents typically need it most, and where clients can obtain the most practice.
School Based Behavior Support
School can be present a particular challenge for children with autism. A group setting which requires long hours of sitting can be tough day after day. A behavior therapist can assist your child directly in the classroom to maximize learning and reduce problem behaviors as they arise.
Supported Employment Training
As children with autism grow into adults and finish school, entering the job market can present challenges in both obtaining employment and maintaining it. Extra support for employment training can make the difference between having and losing a job, and the independence that goes with it.
ABA Services For The Full Family
A full house doesn’t just include children, it includes the entire family. From siblings, to parents, grandparents and everyone involved in the caretaking of a child’s life; support can make a big difference. Full House Therapy offers services that leave out no one.
Parent & Sibling Support Groups
Support groups aren’t just for support, although at Full House Therapy you’ll definitely get that too. Support groups offer a clear avenue to build community in a safe space where one can feel heard and truly understood.
