Center-Based ABA
Early Learners (1-4 yrs)
What is the education like at our center-based ABA program for early learners?
Parents often ask us, "What's the difference between ABLG's center program and a typical daycare or preschool program?" While there are some similiarities in terms of opportunities for group instruction and activities like arts and crafts, music, and circle time, a significant difference is the ratio of instruction (1 staff assigned to each learner - 1:1) with highly trained staff and the intensity/individualization of the instruction.
The purpose of our center-based ABA program for early learners is to ensure that we teach learning readiness skills and functional social communication skills. We do this through a skillful combination of discrete trial instruction (DTI), natural environment training (NET), and play-based learning. Our goal is to improve criticial skills that will enable our learners to participate in their least restrictive environment (LRE).
