Applied Behavior Analysis
Focused, family-centered ABA services to support meaningful progress every day.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) That Builds Real-Life Skills...With Heart
At Talcott, ABA services are delivered exclusively within our Comprehensive Day Program (ages 2-6) and our Evening Multidisciplinary Autism Program (school-age) to ensure fully coordinated care.
Rooted in decades of scientific research, ABA breaks down complex skills – like social interactions, communication, and daily routines – into small, measurable steps tailored specifically to your child’s learning style.
By gradually building these steps, your child progresses comfortably at their own pace, reducing challenging behaviors, increasing independence, and developing essential self-advocacy skills (such as requesting breaks or using coping strategies).
Our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts begin with a detailed, family-focused assessment. Then, we design a personalized plan that may include one-on-one sessions, small group work, and caregiver coaching.
Skills We Target Include
- Language & communication
- Self-care & independence
- Emotional regulation & coping
- Social interaction, cooperative play & peer communication
- Focus, safety skills, & school readiness
- Reduction of interfering or unsafe behaviors
- Self-advocacy (requesting breaks, independently choosing coping strategies)
- Family relationship strengthening
- Vocational & life planning for older children
Comprehensive ABA Services Tailored to Your Family’s Needs
Our evening program specifically emphasizes naturalistic, peer-supported social interactions. Through engaging group activities and play, your child will practice vital social skills like turn-taking, cooperative play, conversation skills, and smoothly transitioning between activities.
Evening program prerequisite skills typically include:
- Comfort with parallel play
- Simple communication (using at least 1–2 word phrases)
- Ability to safely transition between activities
- Participation in structured play tasks
Our skilled ABA therapists provide individualized sessions, thoughtfully fading support as your child’s independence grows. We integrate key skills into daily routines and peer interactions, ensuring meaningful and measurable progress.
We empower families with practical strategies and ongoing support to encourage consistent progress at home and in the community. Consultations are available as part of either program’s care path –ensuring your family feels confident and equipped every step of the way.
