ABA Therapy in Louisville, KY

An initial assessment of your child’s strengths, deficits, as well as identifying family priorities, will be performed by a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) in your home with your child. A comprehensive overview of the assessment will be given to your family. Our staff will provide 1:1 ABA therapy in your home with your child post assessment. Therapy sessions usually occur on a weekly basis for a minimum of 3 hours at a time. ABA therapy consists of specific teaching objectives, usage of a reinforcement system to teach and maintain skills, and data collection and graphing to determine how a child is progressing. The teaching strategies implemented are individualized for each child to promote effective learning, maintenance, and generalization. A responsible caregiver is required to be on-site during each therapy session.

With this model, your child would receive ABA therapy in a clinical setting. The same approach to home based therapy would apply but the environment is designed to control for distractions so we can target specific skills and individual goals. Center based therapy is a mixture of 1:1 instruction and small group work to promote socialization, collaboration and prepare the learner for a school environment. Movement and sensory breaks are given throughout the session to allow the learner to relax and regain attention. We highly recommend this model for younger learners or individuals who would benefit from targeted instruction or for acquiring new skills. 

Our center is based in downtown Shelbyville, KY
