We offer parent support and guidance to all of our clients to ensure that parents and caregivers have the tools to help their child meet behavioral goals outside of direct therapy sessions. Parent guidance, frequently referred to as parent training. focuses on:
- development of socially significant treatment plan and behavior goals
- assisting parents/caregivers with consistently implementing the child’s treatment plan
- generalization of the child’s skills with different people and in different settings/situations
- maintaining the child’s learned skills over time
- opportunities for discussion and feedback regarding the child’s Treatment Plan

Now What?
From understanding your child’s diagnosis to starting a therapy program, there are a lot of steps along the way. Our team of clinicians are here to help. We can answer any questions you have and get you on the path to starting a personalized therapy program for your child. Below is a step-by-step guide of our process at EAS.
Our Simple
5-Step Process
GIVE US A CALL.
Whether you’re ready to schedule a free consultation or just want to talk, we’re here. 804.401.5038
WE’LL PROVIDE A FREE CONSULTATION.
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will meet with both you and your child to get a comprehensive view of his or her unique needs.
OUR STAFF WILL WORK WITH YOUR INSURANCE.
From insurance submission to communicating with your provider through authorization – our team will manage the entire process.
WE’LL PROVIDE AN ASSESSMENT AND CREATE A PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLAN.
A BCBA will provide a 1:1 assessment. Our team will take the time to engage with your child through play, observation, and conversation. This allows our clinicians to build a personalized program tailored to your child.
ABA SERVICES WILL BEGIN.
We’ll reassess via all-staff meetings and collaborate with you to ensure the plan continues to address your child’s needs over time.
In-Home
ABA Therapy
Many families at EAS have programs that use a home-based therapy model. With in-home therapy programs, our clinicians work 1:1 with your child, in the comfort and privacy of your own home. This approach allows your child to build functional skills that can be tailored to their daily routines within their own home.
ABA therapy in the natural setting such as a home and daycare is typically preferred as it allows the team to work with your child where their behaviors and skill deficits are occurring. This typically results in your child better learning the skills and generalizing skills outside of therapy sessions as well.
Our in-home therapy services work on areas such as Self-Help, Play Skills, Pre-Academic Skills, Language & Communications, Fine & Gross Motor Skills, Social Skills, and more!
