COMMUNITY-BASED INSTRUCTION

ABA therapy services will primarily be delivered in your home. To provide the most effective implementation of ABA therapy and ensure generalization across settings and individuals, one-to-one services will also be delivered in community settings (e.g., restaurants, parks, malls, stores, etc.). This is known as community-based instruction, and it helps promote your child’s learning and ensures that the skills being acquired are used by your child during all aspects of their daily life.

Community-based instruction should be scheduled at a minimum of two times per month. Community outings may include, but are not limited to, outings to the park, walks in your neighborhood, the library, local stores, and local community events.
