In-school Therapy
We collaborate with teachers in public and private schools in South Florida to support children's education and help teachers care for and educate in the school environment.
Our specialists come to your child's school to assess your child's needs in the school setting, as part of your child's comprehensive ABA treatment plan.
Our team also supports teachers with your child's school needs, providing a variety of ABA services including ABA education, behavioral assessments, program/curriculum modifications, IEP development, and ongoing support.
social skills and community
Our team not only limits therapy to home or school but also works to help children develop social skills to make friends, learn from others, and develop hobbies and interests in public spaces or outdoors.
Under strict supervision children can interact with other children, play, play games and other physical activities.
These ideas and strategies can help to develop social skills in stages like infancy through:
-
practice the game: learn to take turns, deal with winning and losing, follow the rules….
-
congratulate: promoting self-esteem.
-
role-playing games: they simulate different scenarios, enhancing the imagination.
-
social stories
-
visual supports: they structure and make predictable what is going to happen, reducing anxiety.
