Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. For certain children, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for children can be life-changing. ABA is a scientifically validated approach that helps improve social, communication, and learning skills through positive reinforcement. At Asteri Treatment Center, we specialize in providing high-quality ABA services tailored to each child’s unique needs.
If you’re considering ABA therapy for your child, understanding the different services available can help you make an informed decision. These ABA services can support kids’ growth and development.
Early Intervention ABA Therapy
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delays. Research shows that ABA therapy is most effective when started early, ideally before age five. At Asteri Treatment Center, our early intervention programs are always tailored to the child, yes, but they often focus on foundational skills such as:
- Communication and language development
- Social interaction
- Basic self-care routines
Identifying Social Cues
Children can learn to recognize and interpret verbal and nonverbal communication, including facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and more. Our therapists may use tools like social stories, video modeling, and role-playing to help children understand these cues in different contexts.
Conversation Skills
Many children with ASD need explicit instruction on how to engage in back-and-forth dialogue. ABA therapy teaches how to start a conversation, how to maintain one about a topic, ask follow-up questions, end one politely, and more.
Play Skills
Playing with peers involves complex social rules. ABA helps children learn how to play cooperatively, to play imaginatively, to resolve conflicts, and so much else.
Emotional Regulation & Empathy
Children with ASD may struggle with recognizing their own emotions or understanding others’ feelings. ABA strategies include labeling their emotions, exercises where they take another’s perspective, and the development of coping strategies, among others.
Parent and Caregiver Training
At Asteri Treatment Center, our parent training is personalized, hands-on, and practical. Families can expect:
Parents don’t need to become therapists—but understanding the basics helps reinforce progress. Among other skills, we cover positive reinforcement, prompting/fading, and anything else that might be right for your child.
Additionally, we’ll cover how to recognize triggers for challenging behaviors as well as behaviors to help your child replace them with.
Parents receive step-by-step guidance on helping their children with feeding routines, sleep hygiene, toilet training, and more. Always, our services are all about encouraging language expansion and other strategies that may boost communication and social skills.
Over the years, we’ve found that parents who received ABA training reported:
✔ Reduced stress (from better behavior management)
✔ Increased confidence in handling challenges
✔ Improved quality of life for the entire family
School-Based ABA Support
Transitioning to a school environment can be difficult for some children. We offer school consultation services to ensure consistency between therapy and classroom settings. This may include:
- Collaborating with teachers on behavior plans
- Providing shadowing support for students
- Developing plan recommendations
Behavior Reduction Programs
Challenging behaviors, such as aggression or self-injury, can interfere with learning. ABA services for children include behavior reduction strategies that:
- Identify triggers through Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA)
- Replace problem behaviors with positive alternatives
- Use reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors
Daily Living Skills Training
Independence is a key goal of ABA therapy. We help children develop essential life skills, including:
- Bathroom and hygiene routines
- Dressing and feeding themselves
- Time management and organization
Play-Based ABA Therapy
Learning through play is natural for children. Our play-based ABA services incorporate fun, engaging activities to teach:
- Turn-taking and sharing
- Imaginative play
- Motor skills development
That list is by no means comprehensive. We want to make learning and therapy as fun as possible for your children, always ensuring they get the skill development they need to grow.
