Autism and Behavioral Spectrum is the world’s first Reggio Emilia ABA therapy clinic committed to building respect, responsibility, and community for a brighter future.
Reggio ABATM, is a trademarked collaborative approach to better the individual needs of every child with Autism.
We accomplish this by creating a supportive and enriching educational environment that fosters increased knowledge through exploration and discovery. A self-guided curriculum is created based on the needs and interests of each individual child. By committing to these principles and the highest level of therapy, we guide each individual to a promising future.
At Reggio ABA Therapy Clinics, our approach is rooted in structured, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), integrated with the Reggio Emilia philosophy.
Our sessions are goal-oriented, individualized, and designed to produce measurable outcomes in communication, behavior, and school readiness. Children are active participants in their growth and are not passive players.
Through purposeful, engaging activities, we nurture emotional maturity, social skills, and self-confidence without compromising clinical rigor of a typical ABA clinic.
At AB Spectrum, we are proud to be part of the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance and the world’s only ReggioABA clinic. We created Reggio ABA in 2017, combining the proven, research-based principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with the beauty and philosophy of the Reggio Emilia approach. This unique blend allows us to offer a therapy experience that is not only effective but deeply enriching for children and their families.
What sets Reggio ABA apart from traditional ABA is our unique emphasis on child-led therapy in group settings—an approach that has proven to be incredibly effective. While traditional ABA often focuses on one-on-one, therapist-directed sessions, Reggio ABA encourages children to take the lead in their learning within a group environment. This model allows children to engage socially with peers, collaborate, and develop communication and social skills in a natural, supportive setting. It also fosters emotional resilience and creativity, as children actively participate in shaping their therapy experience. This group-centered, child-directed approach has shown remarkable success in helping children with autism build strong social connections while still addressing individual behavior and communication goals.
By combining ABA techniques with the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we create a learning environment where creativity, exploration, and social interaction thrive. Children express themselves through multiple “languages”—words, gestures, art, and movement—while making meaningful progress on their goals.
