Our thoughtful approach to ABA therapy
At Little Steps ABA Behavior Services, we believe in a path to progress that is as unique as your child. Discover the personalized, family-focused approach that sets us apart and empowers every child to thrive.
What makes our ABA therapy unique?
At Little Steps ABA Behavior Services, our approach stands out because we create truly individualized programs. We use comprehensive assessments like VB-MAPP, ABLLS, and FBA to develop personalized, functional goals directly connected to your child's daily routines and your family's priorities. We embrace a family-first model, coaching caregivers during sessions so that skills generalize effectively to home, school, and community environments.
We blend naturalistic teaching with structured instruction, combining discrete trials for skill-building with play-based and routine-embedded learning for real-world application. Our programs benefit from strong BCBA oversight; certified professionals design programs, train staff, and frequently review data to ensure ethical and efficient plans. We offer data-driven, transparent progress reports with session-by-session data, regular updates, and collaborative adjustments to treatment. Our focus is on functional outcomes like communication, independence, emotional regulation, social competence, and safety, not just reducing target behaviors. We also foster community and school collaboration, coordinating with educators and arranging community outings and peer group practice to support holistic growth.
Your child's journey with Little Steps ABA
Our therapy journey begins with a simple referral or contact, where families reach out for a brief intake discussion about their concerns. Next, we schedule an intake meeting to gather background information, discuss routines, and outline initial goals, leading to assessment scheduling. Our thorough assessment phase uses standardized tools and observations to establish baselines and identify the functions of behaviors.
The BCBA then creates a personalized treatment plan with measurable, prioritized goals, incorporating valuable family input. Therapy sessions begin, delivered in various settings such as home, clinic, school, or via telehealth, blending structured teaching with natural routines to teach communication, daily living, play, social, and safety skills. Caregiver coaching is integral, training parents during sessions to promote skill generalization at home and in the community. We maintain rigorous data and monitoring, with ongoing session data collection and regular BCBA reviews and adjustments to the plan. We prioritize generalization and community practice, ensuring skills are practiced across people and settings, including school, peers, and community environments. Finally, regular reviews and team meetings with families and providers ensure goals are updated as needed to support continuous progress.
Empowering families, fostering growth
At Little Steps ABA, our approach extends beyond the child to fully support and involve families. We provide hands-on caregiver training and foster regular communication through updates, progress reports, and review meetings. Families receive practical tools such as routines, visual supports, and home behavior plans. We prioritize collaborative planning, ensuring family-driven goals and coordination with schools. We also offer emotional and resource support, providing guidance, referrals, and flexible scheduling, alongside administrative help with insurance and authorizations.
Parents typically experience several positive changes, including greater confidence and skill in teaching and managing behaviors, leading to more consistency across home, school, and community. They often see fewer or milder challenging behaviors, increased child independence in daily routines, and improved child communication and social interactions. Ultimately, our comprehensive support leads to reduced family stress and clearer progress tracking, empowering families every step of the way.
