Empowering Individuals Through Comprehensive ABA Services
At The Special Abilities, we are dedicated to providing evidence-based and individualized support to children and families. Our holistic approach combines proven methodologies, personalized interventions, and compassionate care to address developmental, social, and behavioral challenges. Explore our wide range of services designed to foster growth, independence, and meaningful progress.
Parent Mentoring and Ongoing Support
Evidence-based methods like Behavioral Skills Training are used to mentor caregivers. Prompt and ongoing support is provided during the alliance and beyond, including advocacy at schools and in the community. We collaborate for IEP development to determine the services needed for children in school settings, ensuring every aspect of assistance is addressed.
Behavior Management
Using gold-standard problem behavior assessments, we analyze social, communication, and behavioral challenges. Collaborating with parents and a multidisciplinary team, we address socially valid problem behaviors that hinder developmental growth. Tailored behavior plans provide 1:1 support at home, daycare, schools, and community settings. Telehealth models are also available for training and developmental assessments.
Skill Development
Evidence-based preference and skill assessments determine the child’s current abilities, barriers to learning, and motivators. Tools like VB-MAPP, ABLLS-r, AFLS, and PEAK guide the process. Individualized teaching approaches, including Discrete Trial Teaching, Natural Environment Teaching, Pivotal Response Training, and PEAK, are used to meet unique needs. Data-driven progress is shared with the team and schools for effective analysis and review.
ACT therapy for children and adolescents
We implement AIM, an analytic curriculum combining acceptance and commitment therapy, applied behavior analysis principles, and mindfulness. This program fosters social-emotional development in children and adolescents. Parents and family members actively participate to create a supportive, self-sustaining environment.
Behavior Consulting
Consulting services are offered to parents, educators, and individuals with behavioral health concerns. Programs like Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) and ABA therapy cater to distinct needs. Services are provided through in-person, telehealth, and hybrid models to ensure maximum flexibility and care.
Training and supervision for fellow professionals
Training and supervision for professionals are aligned with Behavior Analyst Certification Board guidelines. Our goal is to nurture passionate and motivated interventionists. We also assist teachers by providing strategies for effective group settings, expanding the reach of ABA principles.
