Experience ABA Differently

Meet Reggio ABA™.

Reggio ABA brings together two powerful approaches: the evidence-based strategies of Applied Behavior Analysis and the child-centered principles of Reggio Emilia.

Children are active participants in their learning. Individualized, data-driven treatment is paired with creativity, exploration, self-expression and collaboration, helping children build communication, social and daily-living skills through meaningful experiences.

AB Spectrum is the world’s first Reggio ABA™ clinic. Behavior Technicians and RBTs deliver therapy within a pioneering model designed around both measurable progress and the whole child.

“I love working at ABS because it helped me discover my true passion and career path.”

When I first joined, I had recently graduated from college and was unsure of my next steps regarding the right setting and population for me. Working as an RBT at ABS made me fall in love with ABA—specifically early intervention. That experience inspired me to go back to school to become a BCBA, and it has been the most rewarding job I’ve ever had.

There is nothing better than watching our clients progress, hearing parents express their gratitude, and knowing that things are improving at home. It is incredibly fulfilling to help families better understand their child’s diagnosis while making their daily home life a little easier.

“I love working here because I can see the way every decision made focuses on prioritizing PEOPLE, both clients and employees. Our model places clinical excellence and employee support above everything else, which is becoming increasingly rare.”
