Yes! The purpose of ABA therapy is to develop skills in the best setting possible for each client. In your child’s initial assessment, a customized treatment plan is created for your child. This customized treatment plan will include the skills and goals our clinician team will work on with your child, location and frequency of therapy, and expectation from parents/caregivers. Below are the 4 different setting available to our clients.

CENTER-BASED

Provides direct ABA therapy in our FOCUS center. In this setting, each client has the benefit of intense direct therapy in social settings to help with the mastery of skills and continue the use of these skills into everyday life. Our services range from early life skills to classroom development and our caregiver support programs.

HOME-BASED

Provides direct ABA therapy in the client’s home, day care, or community setting. The same center-based specialized programs can be applied to your child’s therapy. With a targeted environment in the home, FOCUS can help your child develop skills by using items or circumstances that would occur on a regular basis.

SCHOOL-BASED

FOCUS offers school districts staff training, consultation services, and immediate behavior support services through our Educational Support Service. Our BCBAs and RBTs collaborate with school staff to help students find success in the classroom. Utilizing ABA methods, FOCUS identifies the function(s) and the root cause(s) of the behavior(s) and develops group-wide and individual behavior support interventions.

COMMUNITY-BASED

FOCUS offers therapy in the community. Whether that be at a job site, community park, church, or social events, we tailor to the client’s needs in the naturalistic environments they are involved in his/her daily life. The overall goal is to build knowledge and independence of appropriate behaviors and skills to gain and maintain social interactions.

Your child’s support team will consist of a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), RBT (Registered Behavior Technician), and a certified Special Education Curriculum Director. We believe this FOCUS Family Team approach provides the most supportive environment for your child’s greatest success.

FOCUS provides thorough insight into your child’s program. Not only do we provide direct therapy, your child’s FOCUS Family BCBA also supervises the RBT therapist on your child’s team to verify the treatment plan is current.  Through data analysis of the treatment plan, we are able to identify trends to set appropriate goals for your child’s consistent progression to achieve growth and learning skills for more independent living.  

We provide weekly parent training! We support and love our FOCUS families and what you to be part of your child’s therapy. This training will provide you with the tools you need in your toolbox to enrich your child’s life at home and in the environment. To validate the overall progression of your child’s development, we also conduct evaluation assessments every 6 months and share this information with the family.

We know feedback from you, the parent/caregiver, is important. Not only will you receive weekly parent training and updates on your child’s progress, but we commit to giving you written quarterly progress reports outlining the current status on each goal your child is working on. We believe our commitment to our client’s success is unparalleled.
