Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)

The Bright Future Program offers center-based ABA services for children ages 3 to 5 with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Center-based ABA treatment allows for one-on-one instruction in combination with natural learning and opportunities for socialization in a structured “classroom” environment. 

Benefits of Center-Based ABA

• Morning or afternoon service options
• Increased social interaction in a fun environment with multiple staff members and children present   
• In addition to individualized goals, children practice a variety of critical skills designed to promote success in their future school-based program. These skills include: interactive play with peers, following classroom routines, transitioning from one-on-one instruction to group learning situations, and expanding play and leisure activities
• Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) staff at each center allowing for real-time feedback and supervision to maximize your child’s progress 
• On-site parent consultation and training so parents learn how to transfer skills learned in the center to their home. 
  

Social Skills Groups

The Bright Future program also serves junior high, high school, and preschool-aged children in a group setting. Clients are matched by age and BCBA staff address important social skills such as: cooperative play, turn-taking, starting and maintaining conversations, developing and maintaining friendships, handling emotions, dating, and use of social media.
