What in-clinic ABA therapy is
In-clinic, or center-based, ABA happens at a therapy center. Your child works one-on-one with an RBT under a BCBA, then adds small groups when ready. A center is a good place to practice what school asks for: sitting for an activity, following a group direction and playing beside classmates.
Inside an in-clinic ABA therapy session
Arriving
Your child says hello, puts away belongings and starts with a familiar activity. Settling in is a skill too.
One-on-one work
Your child works with an RBT on individual goals, often at a table or in a play area set up for that skill.
Group play
When ready, children practice sharing, turn-taking and group directions with an adult nearby.
Pickup
You hear what went well, what was hard and what to repeat at home.
