School-Based ABA Therapy
Support during the school day that helps your child learn, take part and build friendships in the classroom.
What Is School-Based ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children build meaningful skills and reduce behaviors that get in the way of learning. With school-based ABA, a trained therapist supports your child at school, following a plan written and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). We work alongside your child's teacher so strategies stay consistent across the day. We work in all school settings.
Benefits Of Therapy At School
- Help in the moment. Support is there when a challenge comes up in class.
- Learning with classmates. Social skills are practiced with the children your child sees every day.
- Smoother transitions. Children get help moving between activities, rooms and routines.
- One approach. Home and school use the same strategies.
- Tools for teachers. Staff get practical ideas they can use right away.
- Growing independence. The goal is for your child to need less support over time.
Who It Is For
School-based ABA is a good fit for children who have a hard time with classroom routines, attention, transitions or getting along with peers.

Comprehensive Assessment
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) meets your child and family to learn about strengths, needs and priorities.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your BCBA writes a plan with clear goals built around your child.
Therapy Begins
Your child is matched with a therapist and sessions start. Your BCBA reviews progress and adjusts the plan as your child grows.
School-based services also need the school's agreement. Approval depends on your school district and your insurance plan, and our team will help you find out what applies to your child.
What To Expect
- In the classroom. Your child's therapist supports them during lessons and activities without taking over the teacher's role.
- Working with the school. Your BCBA stays in contact with your child's teacher [and attends school meetings when invited].
- Staying informed. You receive regular updates on your child's progress at school.
