Spectrum ABA provides services in these primary settings; in-center, home-based, community, and the child’s school. Each location offers unique benefits and a combination of each allows us to address concerns in different areas.
Our center can provide your child with a structured setting, this can help a child as they prepare to attend school in the future, and also help them work side by side with their peers.
We come to your home to work in the child’s natural environment. This is a great choice for teaching independent living skills. It allows us to work with siblings, involve parents and family members, and build skills with friends.
Spectrum ABA can also provide 1:1 classroom support and IEP meeting attendance.
Individualized goals can be created for your child to meet in locations such as playgrounds, grocery stores, and restaurants.
Family Training is an integral part of our ABA program. In the beginning the RBT works directly with your child to pair, establish instructional control, master skills, and decrease maladaptive behaviors. Over time caregivers are taught to implement the teaching techniques and behavior management strategies to ensure generalization of these skills.

Sessions range in length from 3 hours up to 8 hours each day. Most children benefit from 15-40 hours per week of ABA therapy.
ABA in combination with a homeschool curriculum can take the place of traditional schooling. We find that many students benefit in their earlier years from the intensive one on one therapy to be more equipped to attend school in their later years.
All therapies are important and play a crucial role in your child’s development. BCBAs work collaboratively with your other therapists to find a schedule that best fits your family’s needs.
Yes of course! ABA sessions are not like a doctor’s visit, but instead more like daycare or early schooling. Most of the learning occurs through play.
