Pediatric Development Therapy Services
Every child has a range of skills and abilities specific to them. Behaviorcraft provides pediatric developmental therapy services for children from birth through age 21. Our licensed therapists have years of experience using the latest evidence-based techniques to help children develop into the best version of themselves.
ABA Therapy
ABA therapy is an FDA-approved, play-based approach to evolving skills and behaviors. When providing therapy for children with autism, the therapist follows a structured plan of goals and rewards. This approach can help your child:
- Develop self-help skills
- Improve communication
- Interact with others socially
- Understand emotions
- Follow directions
Individualized ABA therapy services work best for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disabilities, developmental delays and other conditions that may require intervention.
The goal of ABA therapy is to help children acquire the skills they need to succeed, including communication, socialization and academic performance using specific techniques. In addition to helping your child learn new skills, Behaviorcraft children’s therapy can also reduce challenging behaviors and help them thrive.
Family Training and Consulting
At Behaviorcraft, we know helping children with developmental delays requires positivity, therapy, education and collaboration. We offer family training and consulting services as part of our pediatric developmental therapy.
Family training teaches households how to implement the techniques from their child’s therapy sessions at home and in real-life situations. After consulting, parents will feel more comfortable and confident using these new skills with their children and collaborating with therapists in the future.
Direct Intervention
Behaviorcraft behavior therapy services take a direct intervention approach through specific techniques and methods.
The goal of ABA therapy is to help children with autism learn how to communicate and interact with others and develop other skills that will help them achieve greater independence.
However, ABA therapy does not focus on changing the child’s personality. Instead, the play-based model focuses on helping children with autism learn how to adapt to their surroundings so they can better communicate with others and enjoy more happiness daily.
The Benefits of Custom ABA Therapy for Children
If your child has ASD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), Down syndrome, or developmental delays — or faces other challenges — individualized ABA therapy services can help them:
- Express themselves better: Children learn communication styles and coping mechanisms that increase desired behaviors, helping them express themselves more effectively and improving their social interactions.
- Boost their confidence: New skills, communication styles, and coping mechanisms empower children, boosting their self-confidence and resulting in the desire to experience and learn new things.
- Enhance independence: The more confident your child feels, the more comfortable they will be spreading their wings, taking on new challenges, and learning skills that enhance their independence.
ABA therapy also benefits parents and caregivers — it involves a child’s parent or primary caregiver, so the child can be more comfortable during their therapy session. The parent can better understand and anticipate their child’s unique needs when they actively participate in their therapy.
