Services

In-Clinic and School-Based ABA Therapy:


We provide one-on-one Applied Behavior Analysis/Verbal Behavior (ABA/VB) instruction to your child based on the goals and objectives that will be developed as a part of their individualized assessment package. Our ABA therapy programs are generally intended for children 24 months of age or older. The goal of therapy is to intensely train more sophisticated behavioral and educational repertoires that will enhance the child's quality of life and allow for him/her to benefit from access to natural learning and social environments. We focus on developmentally appropriate skill building while always taking into account the individual interests and desires of the child and family.​


Early Intervention Program

The Chrysalis Program


The Chrysalis Program is an ABA-based early intervention program developed by BBC to target the individualized needs of preschool-aged students with autism and other developmental disabilities by providing a supportive environment that is rich with learning opportunities and facilitated by trained staff. We believe with the right supports and opportunities ALL children can learn. There are unique learning advantages that exist in early childhood, therefore early intervention is essential.


Children diagnosed with Autism and other developmental disabilities ages 3-5 years are eligible for this program. Emphasis is placed on teaching school readiness skills including, early learner skills, pre-academic and academic skills, social-emotional and social-communicative skills, and behavioral regulation. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) guides treatment for the children in the program along with a team that includes Registered Behavior Technicians, Special and Early Childhood Educators. We will also collaborate with other therapy professionals. The initial program is half day (8:30a-12:30p) and runs from August to May. Pre-Admission is required. Spaces are limited. Complete the attached Pre-Admission form to be considered.

Consultation: 


We provide consultation services to parents, schools, residential facilities, daycare centers, group homes, and other community agencies. The consultation model involves training staff and/or parents in ABA based-teaching procedures, which they will implement with the guidance of the consultant.  Depending on the child's need and the intensity of the case, consultation visits may occur weekly or monthly. The length of consultation may be short term (2-4 months) or long term (1-2 years).


We provide school consultation that is child-specific or involve class-wide interventions and training. We will also assist with the set-up of an Autism/ABA classroom and assist with inclusion issues.

We provide consultation to parents to address specific concerns such as toilet training or sleep issues. We will also provide consultation to assist parents in setting up home ABA programs.


We provide consultation and training to community agencies who serve adults and children through the Georgia COMP and NOW Medicaid Waiver Program.



Social Skills Groups:


We conduct group sessions that focus on teaching social skills to your child with autism and/or related developmental disabilities. Children will learn a variety of social and behavioral skills that will help them interact appropriately with others and develop friendships. The group members are closely matched according to skill level and age.

We also provide social skills training as part of a 1-to-1 ABA therapy  session for children and youth who require more intensive training before working with a group.

The services we provide are individualized to meet the unique needs of the children, families, and communities we serve. We provide services in the environment where they are most needed which may include home, school, or community settings. We design programs to reduce challenging behaviors as well  as programs to teach new skills and address skill deficits.

Intake Evaluation:


Every child's ABA program starts with a comprehensive evaluation process. The process usually includes a functional assessment of challenging behaviors (if necessary) and an assessment of the child's strengths and weaknesses in the areas of communication, social/play skills, pre-academic/academic skills, self-care skills and daily living skills. A significant focus of the assessment is placed on the child's strengths, talents, and motivational factors. We work collaboratively with all team members (i.e., parents, teachers, therapists, etc.) whom have vested interest in creating an effective treatment plan that promotes behavioral progress and skill acquisition.
