Does Center Based ABA Therapy Make Sense For Your Family?

But, many people aren’t sure if In-Home or Center Based is the right fit for their family. Don’t worry! We’ll help you wade through the options and make the best decision for your child and your family. Here’s the good news – no matter where the therapy is taking place, your family is going to get exceptional support and therapy.

When is Center Based ABA Therapy Is The Right Fit?

If you’re looking for therapy that will fit your busy schedule, our Center Based programs might be the perfect fit!

Ideal For Busy Schedules

Is your family schedule so packed you can’t imagine being stuck at home for therapy? Center based ABA therapy may be the solution. Having the flexibility to attend therapy outside the home affords many busy families with the opportunity to access ABA therapy who wouldn’t otherwise have the time.

Focus On Social and Group Skills

Our Centers help kiddos who are preparing to enter school to stretch their social skills and work in a group setting with the careful guidance of a behavior therapist. Social skills such as sharing, cooperative play, greetings and reciprocal conversations can be taught in unison, but come to life when they can be generalized with a peer.

More Extreme Behavior Challenges

Is extreme behavior such as physical aggression or property destruction your primary concern? Intense behaviors may require environmental consistency that may be difficult to replicate at home. A clinic setting offers families a break to allow a professional to work through behavior without disrupting the whole home environment.

Opportunity For Collaboration

Clinic settings also offer teams the opportunity to work closely without waiting for weekly or monthly meetings to touch base. A team approach is crucial to creating consistent skill acquisition. Therapy teams with multiple therapists can benefit from the camaraderie and collaboration that occurs when they see each other each day.

In-home versus clinic ABA therapy: what's best for my child? In-Home ABA Therapy is best for maximum parent involvement, focus on real-life functional skills, more opportunities for generalization to everyday settings, and increased opportunities for community gatherings and community skill building. Clinic ABA Therapy makes therapy an option for busy schedules and allows for focus on group and social skills, more control over environment to intervene on behavior, and increased opportunity for team collaboration within a therapy session.

We have been a family blessed with the help of the team at The Helm. Our son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when he was 2.5 and The Helm was one of the places recommended by our developmental psychologist. I am a physician and still found it hard navigating this new medical problem and knowing what to do next. I called many places and from step one Lee Ann was the most helpful explaining the process with paperwork, assessment, available services, insurance, etc. we were able to start therapy quite soon after diagnosis and had sessions at home daily for 3 hours. The quality of staff, the system they have in place for the therapists, the coordination by the BCBA supervising therapist and early response put us at ease that we were on the right path. Ultimately the steady positive changes we saw with our son overcame any fears we had about autism holding our son back for the rest of his life.

We used many forms of intervention that we felt were individually tailored for our family – for potty training, anger management, dietary intervention and even let them know when we could not maintain something suggested in family training, and they would just take our request and implement another plan. Our son has now graduated/transitioned out of therapy and is currently in pre-K in a regular classroom with him on par with his class in academics, has friends and no behavior issues. Most important of all we have a happy son who loves to play with his big sister.

I know that I will always read all there is on autism and watch my son for any features. But I hope my review adds to positive aspects that I wish someone would have told me when I started the journey – start early, don’t put off your suspicions, get your child evaluated now! The label does not hinder,  in fact it falls to the side once you have the diagnosis to facilitate therapy. ABA intervention, especially done with the right people, makes a big difference. It does not pressure or upset the child at all, and you are not stuck in therapy for life! I know if any behavioral issues come up in the future I have The Helm, and they will help us and the outcome is going to be positive. Said with heartfelt thanks.
