What is Reggio ABA Therapy?
ReggioABA combines the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with the child-centered philosophy of Reggio Emilia, creating a nurturing, child-led learning environment. This approach emphasizes group learning, social interaction, and creativity while addressing individual behavior goals using Natural Environment Teaching (NET). It fosters emotional resilience and a sense of self-confidence in a natural, engaging setting.
At AB Spectrum, we are deeply committed to helping your child make meaningful progress and develop the skills needed to lead a full and fulfilling life. Our approach is built on data collection and analysis, allowing us to track your child’s progress and make informed, data-driven decisions to ensure success.
We begin by collaborating closely with caregivers to develop personalized goals and individualized plans. Our dedicated staff then works tirelessly to implement these plans while consistently tracking each child’s progress.
We believe in the power of communication, which is why we have regular meetings weekly to review your child’s growth, celebrate achievements, and adjust goals as needed. At AB Spectrum, you are always a part of the journey, and we’re here to support your family every step of the way.
We’d love to share more about our approach. Please reach out to us to learn more!
What is Early Intervention and Autism Diagnostic Clinics?
Early intervention is the treatment, evaluation, and assessment of a child between the ages 1-7 years old and are vital in order to increase the chances of a more positive prognosis. Your child needs an official autism diagnosis before starting care. We have a team of Psychologist and MD’s available to provide a autism evaluation for your family.
Can I schedule a visit to AB Spectrum to tour the clinic and meet the team before starting services?
Of course! We understand how important it is to find the right program for your child, and we want you to feel completely comfortable and confident in your decision.
We’d love to invite you to call us and schedule a visit to our centers, where we can discuss your child’s unique needs and explore how we can best support them.
During the initial consultation and assessment, you and your child will also have the opportunity to meet our caring team and experience our center firsthand, giving you a deeper understanding of our program and curriculum. We’re here to make this journey as reassuring and welcoming as possible!
Do you take Insurance?
ABA therapy is widely recognized as a medically necessary treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This means that many insurance providers are required to cover ABA therapy to some extent, but coverage can vary significantly depending on your plan.
For example, Medicaid typically covers the full cost of ABA therapy, while commercial insurance providers may require co-pays or limit the number of sessions covered each year. Understanding your specific coverage is essential, so we encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider to clarify the details of your plan.
If your insurance does not cover the full cost of ABA therapy, there may be additional resources or financial assistance options to help ensure access to this vital support.
At AB Spectrum, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our team is happy to help you navigate your insurance, understand your benefits, and explore any available options to make ABA therapy accessible for your family. You’re not alone. AB Spectrum is here to support you.
Is AB Spectrum Reggio ABA Therapy a good alternative to preschool?
Our program integrates the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach, emphasizing creativity, exploration, and a child-centered learning experience. At AB Spectrum, we believe that every child is unique and capable, and our Reggio-inspired ABA therapy blends evidence-based strategies with a focus on fostering curiosity, independence, and collaboration.
Through this approach, we encourage children to explore their environment, express themselves, and engage in meaningful activities that help them develop school-readiness skills and beyond. Our individualized behavior plans and one-on-one support are thoughtfully designed to align with each child’s interests and strengths, making learning both effective and enjoyable.
By combining Reggio Emilia principles with the structure and proven success of ABA, we create a nurturing environment that helps children build confidence, develop critical skills, and prepare for a successful transition into a traditional school setting.
