Community Based Services
Bridging Behavior ABA also provides services within community settings like schools or daycare, which is effective because it helps children practice skills where they naturally learn, play, and interact with peers. By working alongside teachers and caregivers, ABA supports communication, social interaction, and behavior in real-world situations. This approach promotes independence, builds friendships, and helps children succeed in group environments while ensuring consistency across settings.
What Is Community-Based ABA Therapy?
Community-Based ABA Therapy involves one-on-one support from trained ABA professionals outside of the home or clinic. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops an individualized plan, and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work directly with the child in community settings.
Sessions focus on teaching practical, functional skills, such as:
-
Following directions in public
-
Communicating wants and needs in real-world settings
-
Interacting and playing with peers
-
Practicing turn-taking and cooperation
-
Managing frustration and emotions
-
Completing daily living skills like grocery shopping, paying for items, or using public transportation
By embedding learning into everyday experiences, children gain the confidence and independence needed to navigate the world successfully.
