Center-Based Services pertain to individualized applied behavior analysis (ABA) sessions for children and adolescents at a center instead of an in-home setting. In these services, board-certified behavior technicians involve themselves with patients as they abide by the Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).
As your trusted Center-based ABA services provider, we usually recommend such services when a child needs:
- A controlled environment that is unavailable in their home setting
- A different environment that’s conducive to generalizing the skills they acquired in one setting to the next
- An avenue where they’re exposed to other individuals to hone their communication and social skills
- Supplementary support to overcome behavioral issues
Center-based services offer many benefits, such as:
- Assigning patients by age and functioning level (when necessary) to foster better opportunities for socialization and play dates
- Providing a generalized setting wherein patients can practice their new skills in a different environment
- Offering supervision and mentoring services by Board Certified Behavior Analysts present at the center
- Providing opportunities to interact with new toys and learning materials
- Offering respite for the patient’s parents or primary caregivers since the center hones their child’s skills
