ABA Therapy

Play-Based ABA Therapy

At Roots Children's Center, we are committed to providing exceptional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services for children with autism. Our approach focuses on creating individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that foster positive behaviors and reduce challenging ones. We understand the importance of a holistic and supportive environment, which is why we utilize play-based Natural Environment Teaching (NET) to help children generalize skills and thrive in various social contexts.

What to Expect from Our ABA Therapy Services

• Individualized Therapy Plans: Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design customized therapy plans tailored to meet each child's unique needs and developmental goals. By thoroughly assessing each child's strengths and challenges, we create targeted interventions that promote meaningful progress.

• Play-Based Natural Environment Teaching (NET): We use NET to teach and reinforce positive behaviors in natural settings, making learning both effective and enjoyable. This play-based approach helps children apply skills in real-world contexts, enhancing their ability to generalize and maintain these skills over time.

• Evidence-Based Techniques: Our team employs proven, evidence-based methods to foster positive behaviors and reduce challenging ones. We continuously monitor and adjust our strategies to ensure the highest level of effectiveness for each child.

• Supportive Environment: At Roots Children's Center, we believe in creating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where children feel safe and encouraged to learn and grow. Our therapy sessions are designed to be engaging and fun, promoting a love for learning and a positive attitude towards therapy.

• Family Involvement: We recognize the crucial role that families play in a child's development. Our therapists work closely with families, providing them with the tools and support needed to reinforce positive behaviors and skills at home and in the community. We encourage active participation and collaboration to maximize each child's progress.
