At Innovative Behavior Options, we offer both in-home and center-based ABA therapy! There are many advantages to both therapy options, and it’s our belief that a combination of the two is generally ideal. In the past, we’ve shared some of the benefits of in-home ABA therapy, so today, we want to talk about another part of the equation: center-based therapy.
Peer Interactions
Center-based therapy offers our clients the opportunity to target skills best learned with their peer group. During center-based ABA therapy, we can work on social and language skills with peers and practice group interactions through circle time and arts and crafts. Learning to navigate social interactions, for example, is ideally suited to center-based therapy!
Therapist Collaboration
At IBO, we know we have some of the best therapists in the business, and each one has unique insights to offer our clients. During center-based ABA therapy, our therapists have the opportunity to collaborate, and our clients get to benefit from the expertise of multiple experienced therapists.
At our Roswell, GA therapy center, we also have a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) on staff. Clients participating in center-based ABA therapy benefit from increased interaction between our BCBA and therapists, including on the spot support for the therapy team.
Strong, Focused Learning
At IBO, our Roswell, GA therapy center is designed to invite our clients to learn! Every detail is focused on meeting our clients’ needs and helping them excel in therapy. To that end, our therapy center is ideally suited to help clients focus, tune out additional distractions, and practice and learn new skills.
Some research indicates that hour for hour, clients demonstrate higher rates of learning during center-based ABA therapy as compared to home-based therapy. Of course, there are many skills, such as becoming comfortable with bedtime routines and grocery shopping, that work better with home-based therapy. That’s why we believe that a combination of ABA therapy in a home and center environment is generally the best way to go.
