Why Center-Based ABA Therapy

Every child is unique and every child on the autism spectrum has their own unique skills and needs. Making sure that these needs are met compassionately, while meeting treatment goals often requires some degree of one-on-one direct therapy. This customized, and personalized approach helps boost your child’s skills and meet milestones while encouraging engagement.

Get direct access to program supervisors in an optimal setting to increase the likelihood of your child’s social development, communication, language & social skills. The structured environment can include socialization with peers, that can improve behaviors for your child’s potential at the right intervention points.

One-on-One ABA Therapy Sessions

Benefits Of Our Behavior Therapy Centers

Fostering Independence

Direct one-on-one therapy can also play a critical role in helping foster your child’s sense of independence. Magnolia Behavior Therapy’s specialists use a personalized approach to help your child recognize new things that they can do for themselves, without having to always seek help from a parent or family member. This can also help develop a stronger sense of self-confidence to help them build toward future milestones.

Improvements In Learning Skills

Many students with behavioral concerns and students on the autism spectrum benefit from one-on-one therapy when it comes to classroom performance. This includes things like improving listening and comprehension skills as well as the ability to work effectively in small groups. One of the other advantages of one-on-one direct therapy is that it helps to closely monitor your child’s progress, which can be challenging in a larger classroom setting.

Everyday Skill Development

Direct one-on-one therapy can also help your child with a wide range of everyday skills. This includes awareness of personal hygiene practices as well as safety practices. It can also help your child make significant progress with personal tasks like learning how to tie their own shoes, comb their hair, or pick up their room. Our partnership approach helps boost personal engagement, build skills and evolve your child’s natural sense of independence.

Language & Communication

Communication skills are critical for helping children learn at a very young age. Direct one-on-one therapy can help children who are experiencing delays in speech, processing thoughts into words, or difficulty in communicating with others. Our compassionate approach will identify your child’s needs, help them address frustrations, and manage their progress toward achieving greater and greater milestones.

Our holistic curriculum places a strong emphasis on bolstering communication skills and the use of language. This includes helping your child better understand how to advocate for themselves by doing things like verbally requesting items and activities they need or are interested in.

Self-Help

Teaching independence and self-care skills like how to use the bathroom, comb their own hair and other personal care skills is one of the primary strengths of direct one-on-one ABA therapy. Our goal is to empower your child not just to take care of their own basic needs, but to foster a greater sense of confidence in the process.

Social Skills

Direct one-on-one therapy helps your child develop ever-increasing social skills by targeting their current level of development and bolstering their ability to connect with others. This might call for therapeutic strategies that evolve with your child, as well as interactive role-play and direct personal social engagement.

Improving Fine & Gross Motor Skills

Direct one-on-one therapy can also be used to help improve both your child’s gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Our therapists can use data-driven ABA therapy techniques to help guide your child toward improvements in gross motor skills such as balance and coordination, as well as fine motor skills such as tying shoes and buttoning a jacket.

Our close attention and holistic approach can track motor development in the short-term and long term. If there happens to be a particular skill that your child is struggling with the close one-on-one interaction helps keep them encouraged as their skills continue to grow and improve.

Play Skills

Play is one of the most productive ways that any child learns. Direct one-on-one care provides your child with age and skill-level appropriate play activities that make learning new skills fun. This keeps them encouraged to continue learning, while also providing confident metrics to track improvements.

Behavior Planning

Every child is unique and develops in their own individual way. Behavior planning is one of the most powerful tools that ABA therapists use to help address behavioral concerns, while also helping children on the autism spectrum to develop new healthy behaviors. Our expert therapists use ABA behavioral planning tools to look at the areas of behavior your child is expressing. This helps to identify areas of inappropriate behaviors while redirecting focus to supplementing them with functional behaviors.
