What Is Center-Based ABA Therapy?

Center-based ABA therapy at Early Autism Services offers a structured and supportive environment for children to receive specialized treatment. In this setting, children engage in targeted activities designed to improve their communication, social, and behavioral skills. Our center-based programs are led by experienced Behavior Technicians under the supervision of Board Certified Behavior Analysts, ensuring personalized attention and effective interventions. With a focus on individualized goals and consistent reinforcement, center-based ABA therapy fosters meaningful progress and development in a nurturing atmosphere.

Benefits of Center-Based ABA Therapy

A Structured Environment: Some children prefer to establish a more structured environment and set of daily routines. Similar to a school environment, our centers have daily routines with dedicated time each day for specific skills, domains and free play. Many children enjoy the consistency of routines and thrive at our center. Additionally, when your child receives therapy in a center, it allows our clinicians to have more control over variables such as interruptions, distractions and the overall setting while observing tasks.
Social Skills: Center-based services offer a fantastic opportunity for children to meet new peers and learn social skills. While our therapy programs are one-on-one, with each child having a designated therapist, we incorporate social activities into each day for children to engage in group play and learning.
Learning New Skills: While in-home learning is excellent for helping children establish and build on common skills and activities they will use daily at home, center-based behavioral therapy is great for teaching new skills. Some skills we focus on include activities like learning new routines, appropriate play, turn-taking, building new self-help skills and more!
Convenience: For some families, in-home therapy is not an option for various reasons, including work, a non-conducive home setting or other factors. In these situations, receiving clinic-based ABA therapy might be the best option.
