Welcome to Essential Speech and ABA Therapy,
Where Children on the Autism Spectrum have a TEAM Behind Them!

By bringing ABA Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy together under one roof, we streamline treatment to help children reach their full potential! This collaborative model ensures a team approach to meeting your child's needs, as our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), and Occupational Therapist (OT) work together to craft a treatment plan personally tailored to your child.

 

At Essential Speech & ABA Therapy, your child’s care is our top priority. Our locations are independently owned and operated, which means that each facility is uniquely equipped to meet your child’s needs while helping them achieve independence!

 

We focus on early intervention services, providing expert care for children between the ages of 18 months and 6 years old.

ABA Therapy

Las Historias sociales, desarrolladas por primera vez por la maestra de educación especial Carol Gray en 1989, ayudan a los niños con TEA a absorber nueva información en un formato apto para niños. Utilizando colores brillantes e imágenes divertidas, las historias sociales “llenan los espacios en blanco” de las interacciones sociales que muchas personas dan por sentado.

El objetivo de las historias sociales es ayudar a los niños a adaptarse a nuevos entornos. En varios estudios, se ha demostrado que las historias sociales mejoran la comunicación social, las habilidades de conversación y el comportamiento concentrado en la tarea. Para ayudar a su hijo a aprender nuevas habilidades y reforzar las lecciones de nuestro excepcional personal, hemos preparado varias historias sociales a continuación:

Cómo calmar mi cuerpo: su hijo aprenderá a regular diferentes emociones.

Navegando por la seguridad en la piscina: su hijo puede aprender más sobre cómo estar seguro en la piscina.

Hagamos yoga: su hijo puede aprender a practicar yoga como una forma de calmarse o descomprimirse.

Tiempo de vacaciones: este libro interactivo se puede utilizar para preparar a su hijo para una variedad de destinos de vacaciones diferentes.
