Goals for programming:
Goals for programming:
Programming to teach early abstract concepts and responses to simple questions
Further programming emphasizes grammar, learning skills more quickly and more elaborate interactions with others
Programming develops to a level in which skills are eventually taught in a less formal format. questions require more than one response and more than one answer is possible. Child continues to learn to balance leading play/social skills and cooperating with others
Calhoun Consulting LLC’s trained therapists work one-on-one with each child. This allows them to closely monitor emotional responses in order to match the difficulty of the material and method of instruction to the child’s ability level and rate of learning. Supervision of each child’s program is provided by one of our BCBA’s with regular progress reviews done monthly.
In addition to the individual ABA programming we will also be conducting monthly team meetings, parent training, as well as, programs to address problem behaviors and a range of behavior analytic services are offered. Our focus is on helping your child gain skills in all areas of life so that we may provide them with the opportunity to live a vibrant life.
We provide behavioral assessments, parent training, program supervision and quality monitoring for ABA services.
