About the Day Program
Our Day Program is designed to meet the unique needs of your child through personalized, evidence-based ABA therapy in a fun and supportive environment. With our low staff-to-child ratio, your child will receive focused, individualized care that fosters their growth and development.
Our small group sessions are thoughtfully structured to promote autonomy, functional independence, and the development of important life and vocational skills. We emphasize peer interaction, goal generalization in group environments, and following daily schedules and routines.
To support your child’s progress we utilize a play based NDBI (naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention) Approach which includes Preschool Life Skills, VB-Mapp, the Early Start Denver Model, and Jasper model, all customized to your child’s needs. Our focus areas include social skills, language development, play skills, and school readiness, with Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) providing hands-on support, guided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who oversee the program.
We strive to make our program both effective and enjoyable. Parents receive daily updates on their child’s progress and regular communication with RBTs, as well as the opportunity to participate in individualized or group-based parent training sessions, held weekly or bi-weekly utilizing project ImPACT, and Balance program which strengthens trust in the parent child relationship and empowers caregivers with the tools in order to help their child. Our BCBAs closely monitor each child’s progress to ensure they receive the best possible support. Plus, we add an extra layer of fun with holiday parties, seasonal events, and engaging activities throughout the year.
Offered year-round, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM (depending on your child’s insurance), our Day Program provides the individualized attention and evidence-based therapy your child needs to thrive.
