ABA Therapy 1:1
Home / Service Detail
About ABA Therapy (1:1)
At The Pathways to Change, 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is designed to support children and teens with autism and related developmental differences in ways that matter in everyday life. Each program is written and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and tailored to your child’s strengths, challenges, and family routines.
Our focus is not just on reducing “behaviors,” but on building meaningful skills – communication, independence, emotional regulation, and confidence. Sessions are structured but playful, using evidence-based strategies that feel engaging and achievable for your child.
Services are offered in a one-to-one format, which means your child has dedicated time with a trained behavior technician, guided closely by a BCBA. Depending on your needs, sessions may take place in our clinic, in your home, or via telehealth, with an emphasis on skills that generalize to school, community, and daily life.
We are committed to compassionate, culturally responsive care. You know your child best – we listen first, collaborate on goals, and make sure your child’s voice and preferences are respected in the therapy process.
What 1:1 ABA Therapy Can Help With
Every child’s plan is unique, but 1:1 ABA therapy commonly supports skills in the following areas:
- Functional communication (requesting needs, making choices, reducing frustration)
- Daily living skills such as dressing, tooth-brushing, toileting, and mealtime routines
- Social and play skills – sharing, turn-taking, joining in with peers and siblings
- Emotional regulation and coping tools for big feelings and transitions
- Flexibility around changes in routine, new environments, and “stuck” behaviors
- Safety skills, including elopement prevention and awareness of dangers
- School readiness – following classroom expectations, attending to tasks, and working with teachers
