ABA Services
We offer in-home therapy services!
Naturalistic Environment teaching
NET, or Natural Environment Teaching, is an innovative and vibrant approach within Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that aims to promote learning in real-life settings. It’s like taking the classroom outside and into the wild!
Key Features of NET Services:
Learning through Play: NET is all about harnessing natural opportunities for learning during playtime. Children engage in their favorite activities, and therapists swoop in like quirky ninjas to facilitate skill development!
Embedded Skills Practice: Skills are taught and practiced in contexts that are relevant to the child’s everyday life. This means teaching a child to ask for a snack while they’re actually snacking – yum!
Individualized Approach: Each session is tailored to fit the unique interests and needs of the child. If a child loves dinosaurs, you bet the lesson will involve a Jurassic-sized amount of dino-related fun!
Natural Reinforcers: NET focuses on using things that naturally motivate children. No big shiny rewards here; it’s all about those real-life moments that make kids say, “That was awesome! Let’s do it again!”
Collaborative Learning: Therapists work alongside parents and caregivers, embedding teaching moments into daily routines. Who knew brushing teeth could become an epic lesson in turn-taking?
In a nutshell, NET services offer a fabulous mix of structured learning within the chaos of everyday activities, making skills acquisition feel like an adventure rather than a chore. So, put on your adventure hats, because learning has never been more fun!

Parent training
Family Training in ABA: A Quirky Adventure!
When it comes to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), family training is like the secret sauce in a recipe for success! Let’s face it, navigating the world of ABA can be as confusing as trying to untangle a ball of yarn chased by an over-enthusiastic kitten. But don’t worry; we're here with your handy-dandy training toolkit!
Why Family Training?
Family members are the superheroes of the ABA journey. They hold the power to reinforce behaviors and create an environment where learning is as natural as blooming daisies in spring. By involving the entire family, we ensure that strategies are not just cool ideas that float around; they’re put into action in real life!
