Our Approach
Caring Support. Tailored Therapy. Proven Results
Research shows early intervention leads to the best outcomes for children with autism. At Little Leaves, our center-based ABA therapy builds critical skills during the most important developmental years. By following the individualized approach outlined below, we help each child and family achieve meaningful, lasting progress.
Assessment and Development
One of our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) will get to know you and your child in order to create treatment goals and an individualized treatment plan.
Science-Backed Therapy
Our trained Behavior Technicians use evidence-based strategies to help your child build and practice skills until they can be used naturally in everyday life. During each session, they collect data for the BCBA to monitor progress and adjust instruction as needed.
Caregiver Training
As the most important member of your child’s team, you will learn the ABA strategies we use so that you can confidently support your child’s development. We provide monthly trainings and lessons to help you implement center-based learnings in the real world.
Data Review and Analysis
The data and information gathered during therapy are used by your child’s BCBA to continually assess growth and adjust the therapy to meet their needs. Your child’s progress is always available to you, and we’ll guide you through understanding it every step of the way.Life Skills and Independence
Our individualized therapy plans focus on building everyday life skills that matter most to each child and their family. Communication, potty training, and self-care help children gain the confidence to thrive both within our center and beyond.
Team Meetings
You and the BCBA managing your child’s care will meet regularly to review progress, celebrate milestones, and address any questions or concerns.
