ABA @ IBCS

 We provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services designed to help individuals build meaningful skills that support independence, communication, emotional regulation, and positive relationships. ABA is a science-based approach that focuses on understanding how learning happens and using that understanding to teach skills in ways that are practical, supportive, and effective in everyday life.

Our services use a holistic, supportive, and play-based/naturalistic approach, recognizing that learning happens best when individuals feel supported and engaged. We look beyond isolated behaviors to understand the whole person—their strengths, interests, family dynamics, and life experiences.

Through play-based and interest-driven interventions, we create natural learning opportunities for individuals of all ages that feel motivating and enjoyable rather than rigid or forced. Skills are taught within real-world routines and meaningful activities, helping them extend beyond the therapy setting.

We are committed to supportive and compassionate care, prioritizing emotional and physical safety and collaboration. Our goal is not just behavior change, but lasting growth that supports confidence, self-advocacy, and overall well-being. We meet each child where they are while building foundational skills for meaningful long-term life goals such as independence, relationships, education, and community participation.

 ABA services include one-on-one services and parent inclusion meetings. We focus on building functional, meaningful skills while also reducing behaviors that interfere with learning, relationships, or daily life. 

Skill development is prioritized by teaching communication, self-regulation, adaptive, and social skills that allow children to meet their needs in appropriate and effective ways. As these skills increase, challenging behaviors naturally decrease and are addressed through supportive, individualized strategies in respect to each child’s needs and experiences. 

Our social groups are a natural extension of our ABA services, providing meaningful opportunities for individuals to practice and strengthen skills in real-world, peer-based settings. While individualized ABA sessions focus on teaching and building foundational skills, social groups allow those skills to be generalized, reinforced, and applied in more natural and dynamic environments.

Within our social groups, participants practice communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, flexibility, problem-solving, and self-advocacy alongside peers with shared interests. Activities are structured yet flexible, offering guidance and support while allowing authentic social experiences to unfold through play, collaboration, and shared routines.

Groups are intentionally designed and facilitated by trained professionals, ensuring that supports are individualized and aligned with each participant’s ABA goals. This allows us to target both skill acquisition and the reduction of challenging behaviors by teaching and reinforcing appropriate, functional alternatives within meaningful social contexts.

By combining individualized ABA therapy with supportive social group experiences, we help individuals build confidence, strengthen relationships, and carry newly learned skills beyond the therapy setting and into everyday life.

Our events and parent learning opportunities are designed to support caregivers through education, connection, and practical skill-building within an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) framework. These offerings provide families with tools to strengthen emotional regulation, flexibility, communication, and values-based decision-making, while also increasing access to community knowledge and resources.

Through caregiver learning groups and monthly community events, parents have opportunities to learn from trained professionals and guest speakers, ask questions, and connect with other families navigating similar experiences. These experiences are intended to enhance consistency, follow-through, and confidence in everyday parenting and advocacy.

All parent learning groups and events are open to the community. These are educational and skill-based in nature. They are not psychotherapy, mental health counseling, or a substitute for individual therapy services.
