A BCBA comes to your Aurora home, watches how your child plays and communicates, and builds the treatment plan from VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R baselines.
Trained behavior technicians work through daily living skills, social interaction, and real routines like mealtime, play, and getting ready, so new skills hold up in daily life.
You learn the same strategies we use, and progress keeps going after the session ends.
Aurora kids split between Aurora Public Schools and the Cherry Creek School District depending on the address. With your permission we reach out to your child’s school and work to line up therapy goals with the classroom.
