We provide comprehensive and personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, Speech, Feeding, and Occupational therapy evaluations tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and family we serve. Our expert team of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based services in environments that best support the child’s learning and development. From the comfort of your home to our specialized centers and the broader community, we offer a range of therapy options designed to foster skills, independence, and growth.
Our ABA therapy begins with a thorough initial assessment conducted by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to understand your child’s strengths, deficits, and your family’s priorities. Following the assessment, our staff provides personalized 1:1 ABA therapy, focusing on specific teaching objectives through strength and assent-based training, reinforcement systems, and data-driven strategies to ensure progress. We tailor therapy sessions to meet your child’s needs, providing them with the opportunity to learn alongside peers and qualified staff. We encourage strength-based play and learning. Our centers in Louisville and Lexington offer flexible scheduling options, including half-day and full-day programs, to accommodate your family’s lifestyle and maximize therapeutic benefits.
Our community-based ABA services extend learning beyond traditional settings and focus on applying behavioral strategies in real-world situations. Accompanied by a qualified staff member, your child will engage in activities designed to enhance social skills, perform age-appropriate tasks, and improve safety awareness. This service complements in-home therapy, offering a holistic approach to your child’s development. Therapy sessions are designed to promote effective learning, skill maintenance, and generalization across individuals and settings to promote consistent progress in all steps of the journey.
For families seeking a single therapy, or a multi-disciplinary team to support them, our SLP and Feeding therapy services offer a nurturing setting where children can thrive. After an initial assessment, treatment will be tailored to target communication style, oral-motor, swallowing, or feeding deficits. These services can be received in-office, in-home, or community to best meet the needs of your child and family.
If your child is receiving ABA services, our providers will collaborate to increase the application of methods from each therapy across all services. We encourage open communication across providers, and co-treatment to reach maximum potential benefit from services.
Our Occupational Therapy services are designed to help your child reach goals and developmental milestones to improve everyday life. Whether your child needs assistance with movement, play, sensory aversions, or coping mechanisms, our team of dedicated therapists is here to help your child grow and reach their highest potential. After a thorough evaluation, a tailored plan will be developed that will address all areas of strength, as well as growth. For children that are receiving ABA therapy, our multi-disciplinary team will work together to maximize treatment outcomes.
Recognizing the pivotal role of caregivers in the therapy process, we offer ongoing training and support within all of our services. Additionally, caregiver consultations provide families and individuals with an overview of principles and practical strategies for home and community settings. This empowering resource is designed to reinforce therapeutic goals and foster a supportive environment for your child’s continued growth.
