How It Works
A Simple
Path to Home-
Based ABA Support
Starting ABA services can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to understand what comes next. At THRIVE ABA NY, we aim to make the process clear, supportive, and centered around your learner and family.
From the initial intake to ongoing support, we work with families through each step to help create an individualized experience designed around the learner’s needs.
Getting Started Is Simple
Complete the Client Intake
The first step is to provide us with information about your learner and family through our client intake process. This helps us better understand your needs and how we may be able to support you.
Connect With Our Team
Once we receive your information, we'll connect with you to learn more about your learner, your concerns, and the type of support you're looking for.
Understand Your Learner's Needs
We take time to understand the learner as an individual, including their strengths, needs, routines, interests, and areas where additional support may be helpful. This information helps guide an approach.
What Happens During Home-Based Support
Home-based ABA services can be incorporated into everyday activities and routines. Depending on the learner’s individualized goals, support may focus on areas such as communication, social interaction, daily routines, learning, independence, and other meaningful skills.
