Once a child has built up some foundational skills they are often ready to move on to more typical social and learning environments with more variability and less individualized attention. Often times the expectations and amount of unpredictability in typical daycare or preschool can be too large of a leap to navigate on their own at first. Having ABA services delivered in this setting is often the bridge that gives the child the chance to experience early success, build positive associations with school, and ultimately leads to the fastest independence.

 

Within the daycare and school settings, we provide the level of support necessary to be successful in the environment but not so much that they child becomes reliant to the additional support. Goals are designed for the purpose of helping the child develop the communication and social interaction skills to so they can fully participate in the daycare setting and benefit from the learning and social opportunities it offers. At the same time children are also learning to independently navigate the setting, including actively advocating for themselves with their teacher when accommodations or more support are needed.
