ABA therapy by goal: what we work on at home

Most families come to us with one or two things they want to get easier. These are the goals we build ABA programs around, at home, with a plan written by a BCBA.

How a goal becomes a plan

A BCBA measures your child's skills with the VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R assessments and writes the plan.

A trained technician works on it with your child at home, inside the routines where the skill is needed. Parent coaching is 10 to 20 percent of therapy hours.
