Family Guidance
Parents and caregivers play an important role in their child’s success in ABA therapy. Every care plan includes twice-a-month Family Guidance sessions led by a BCBA. These sessions give parents practical strategies they can use during therapy and in daily routines at home.
Coordinated care
We collaborate with your child’s speech, occupational, feeding, and physical therapists to provide sessions directly in our centers. This allows your child to access other services in a familiar environment while minimizing unnecessary transitions and travel.
School readiness support
Center-based ABA therapy helps children build the skills they need for school, such as communication, social interaction, and executive function. For school-age children, ABC Academy continues that support by bridging the gap between therapy and the classroom.
Autism resource library
ABC’s autism resource library includes blogs, ebooks, sensory-friendly city guides, and expert-led webinars to give families practical, trustworthy information at every stage of their autism journey.
Proven outcomes
Families at ABC often report reduced stress, and many children transition successfully into general education classrooms after graduating from our services. The Action Institute for Outcomes Research (AIoR) measures how ABA therapy impacts children and families and uses this data to improve care.
