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.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology from CSUMB and my Master's in Special Education with a concentration in ABA from ASU. I have over 10 years of experience within the field starting as a behavior technician and working my way all the way up to a BCBA.

 

I strive to make an impactful difference in the lives of those I serve, assuring I am providing the most ethical services for my clients! I love making ABA fun and thinking outside the box and trying to look at the world through the lens of those I work for and serve.

Office Manager

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Utah Valley University. My life experiences led me to develop a deep appreciation for the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and I'm committed to helping create a loving, supportive, and organized environment where both clients and staff can thrive. I love being around the kids and seeing them progress in their life journey. 

I moved from Utah to Georgia 3 years ago and I have fallen in love with the south and its humidity. My husband and I live in Northern Georgia and we love going on walks and playing pickleball. In my free time I love to crochet, play sports, and spend time with family.
