ABA Services · Overview
Individualized ABA Therapy, Wherever Life Happens.
Chasing Your Dreams ABA provides one-on-one Applied Behavior Analysis services for children and adolescents with autism across home, school, and community environments. Every treatment plan begins with the individual learner: their strengths, needs, routines, environment, and goals.
Focus Areas
Building Skills That Support Everyday Life.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach to understanding behavior and teaching meaningful skills. Depending on the learner, treatment may focus on:
-
Early Childhood
-
School Age
-
Teen & Young Adult
- Communication
- Social Interaction
- Emotional & Behavioral Regulation
- Daily Living Skills
- Independence
- School Participation
- Challenging Behaviors
- Functioning at Home, School & in the Community
The specific goals are different for every learner because the skills that make the greatest difference in everyday life are different for every person.
-
Home
Where daily routines happen.
Skills practiced in the environment where your family lives day to day.
-
School
Support during the school day.
Coordination with educators to support behavioral needs throughout the school day.
-
Community
Generalizing skills out in the world.
Practicing skills in real community settings, like stores or parks.
Family Involvement
Progress Is a Team Effort.
Caregivers are an essential part of ABA treatment. We help parents and caregivers understand treatment goals, learn useful strategies, participate in decision-making, and support skills outside direct therapy sessions. We can also collaborate with educators, physicians, and other professionals when appropriate.
