Parent Outreach and Support
Behavioral Therapy
Our Board-certified behavior analyst at the preschool uses the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help children: develop crucial social, communication and learning skills.
They start by conducting assessments to understand the child's strengths and challenges. Based on this, they create and implement individualized behavior intervention plans, which often involve using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and teaching new skills.
The analyst also trains and supports the preschool teachers, staff, and parents, equipping them with the strategies needed to effectively work with children who have developmental delays or behavioral challenges. They regularly collect and analyze data to monitor progress and make informed decisions about the effectiveness of the interventions. The overall goal is to foster a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every child can thrive and be successful.
