Do parents participate in ABA therapy?
Yes. Parent involvement is one of the most important parts of successful ABA therapy. We provide parent training and coaching so families can confidently use effective strategies during everyday routines, helping children practice new skills outside of therapy sessions.
What skills can ABA therapy improve?
ABA therapy can help children develop communication skills, social interaction, play skills, daily living skills, emotional regulation, school readiness, functional independence, and positive behavior strategies. Each program is customized based on the child's developmental needs.
