How It Works
ABA Group Therapy is designed like swimming lessons. Some children progress quickly through the levels, while others repeat a level several times to work on or reinforce a goal. Sometimes, clinicians may recommend repeating a service. Caregivers can also sign their child up for the same level again if they feel they have more to gain from the curriculum.
Below you will find an example of what your journey through our ABA Group Therapy might look like. Because every person with autism is unique, you may not need to start at step 1. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the skills build on one another. First, your child or teen should establish a communication system, then start to learn how to navigate group settings. Once this foundation is established, they can begin to develop more advanced social and emotional regulation skills.
