Essential Skills – Skills for Everyday Living

Real-life scenarios designed for real-life participation 
 

Looking for a program that empowers your child to thrive in everyday activities at home and in the community? Look no further than our Essential Skills ABA Program. Designed to instill confidence and independence, our unique and specialized program is a game-changer for non-verbal or those with limited communication skills, children aged 7-10. 


We believe in practical preparation. That's why we recreate real-life scenarios within our program, from haircuts to doctor's appointments. By immersing your child in mock environments that mirror community and home settings, we equip them with the skills and confidence needed to navigate these experiences. Our ultimate goal is to provide children with opportunities to participate in daily tasks alongside their families, fostering a sense of structure, belonging, and fulfillment in their lives. 


In our program, your child is not just a participant but a priority. With a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, we provide individualized attention and support tailored to your child's unique needs and abilities. Whether addressing challenges or celebrating achievements, our dedicated team is committed to empowering your child to reach their full potential - and to help families navigate through difficult situations.
