Clinics are designed for children between the ages of 18 months and five years of age. For older children, ages 6 to 21, we offer in-home specialty services designed for your child’s needs. Clients of all ages typically receive 20-40 hours of ABA therapy per week. Program specifics will differ depending on the needs of your child.
Clinic-Based ABA Therapy Services
There are several benefits our therapists provide while young children are in the clinic setting. IABA Consultants develops specific programs for clinic-based services. Working in the clinic environment allows therapists to:
- Observe symptoms of autism
- Monitor developmental milestones
- Set goals for parents
- Work on socialization with peers
- Ongoing observation & consultation
Each of these is vitally important to ensure the child is advancing and acquiring new skills. In addition to the one-on-one work done with each child, each of our clinics provides a preschool setting. Working with children in a group environment provides socialization and allows the children to learn from one another.
While receiving clinic services, each family also receives a quarterly assessment to ensure that the work the child is doing at school is transferred to the child’s home life. If parents are not seeing progress from the clinic transfer to their family home, home-based services may also be recommended to promote generalization.
