Children participate alongside their peers in circle time and exploratory centers, with their ABA Therapist by their side, helping to make each moment of the day meaningful and an opportunity for learning. They also have 1:1 ABA sessions throughout the day to target skills in an individualized environment, with an objective to quickly generalize these skills to the natural environment with their peers. We have an enclosed outdoor area filled with sensory materials and imaginative play equipment, as well as an indoor movement area to support our children’s sensory and developmental needs.
