Intensive ABA Services
Our intensive therapy program is designed to provide a high dosage of individualized, quality ABA services.
What do intensive services look like?
When your child starts therapy with us, they will be assigned to one of our talented clinical supervisors who are all credentialed as a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA). Your child will work 1:1 with a registered behavior technician (RBT) who implements their individual treatment plan under the direct supervision of the BCBA.
During clinical sessions, we use the following principles to establish positive behavioral change:
Applied Behavior Analysis
Functional Communication Training
Natural Environment Teaching
Child-led teaching imbedded in play
Adaptive Discrete Trial Training
Developmental Assessments
Caregiver Training
What kinds of skills are addressed?
At the beginning of services, our team with conduct a developmental milestone assessment to assess your child’s unique skill set and work with you to determine areas for growth to be addressed during therapy.
Some skill areas that may be addressed include:
Communication skills
Social and play skills
Expressive and receptive language skills
Gross motor and fine motor skills
Functional living skills
Group learning skills
How are sessions structured?
Spectra offers half-day, clinic-based sessions. When a child first starts our program, we typically begin with a high dosage of services which equates to 15-20 hours a week of direct therapy.
Daily sessions are characterized by:
Rapport building and 1:1 therapy with a Registered Behavior Technician
Balance of structured and unstructured learning opportunities
Free play and play-based teaching
Group times for social skill development that mimic daycare providers and schools
Adapted, school-like session space
Observation, support, and in-person supervision by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst
