Empowered Pathways ABA Services

---

Our BCBAs conduct thorough behavioral assessments to understand each specific individual's needs and challenges. This assessment includes parent and caregiver questionnaires and interviews, observing your child in various settings, standardized assessments, identifying specific behaviors, and Functional Behavior Assessments to gather comprehensive information. The assessment process is vital to creating a detailed Treatment Plan for your child to address target behaviors effectively. 

Our Comprehensive ABA Therapy program provides personalized and intensive support for individuals with autism. This service involves one-on-one sessions with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), overseen by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), to develop essential skills in communication, social interaction, and functional skills. Our goal is to help each individual achieve their full potential through tailored interventions based on their values and goals.

Focused ABA Therapy targets specific areas of need, such as reducing challenging behaviors or improving social skills. This service is ideal for individuals who require support in specific areas rather than a comprehensive approach. It includes individualized plans to address these targeted behaviors effectively.

Empowered Pathways offers training for parents and caregivers to equip them with strategies and techniques to support their child's development at home. This service includes practical guidance on how to manage behaviors, reinforce positive actions, and create a supportive environment for skill building and generalization. All families receiving Comprehensive or Focused ABA Therapy Services are provided Parent and Caregiver Training to support generalization of acquired skills outside of the therapeutic setting. 

We consult and collaborate with local schools to offer ABA services within the educational setting. This includes conducting functional behavior assessments, developing behavior intervention plans, providing one-on-one support in the classroom, and training school staff to implement ABA strategies effectively, ensuring a cohesive approach to the child's education.

Coming soon! Our Social Skills Groups provide a structured setting for children to practice and develop their social interactions with peers. These group sessions focus on teaching skills such as sharing, taking turns, collaborating and effective communication in a fun and engaging way.

At Empowered Pathways, we believe in the power of community education and support. Our community workshops are designed to provide valuable information, resources, and hands-on training to parents, caregivers, educators, and community members. These workshops aim to enhance understanding, promote effective strategies, and foster a supportive environment for individuals with autism and other special needs. Workshop dates and topics will be announced with registration options posted prior to each event.

At Empowered Pathways, we are committed to delivering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that is both evidence-based and assent-based. This approach ensures that our therapeutic practices are grounded in scientific research while also respecting the autonomy and preferences of the individuals we serve.

Our ABA therapy services are rooted in evidence-based practices, meaning they are supported by rigorous scientific research and have been proven effective in improving the skills and behaviors of individuals with autism. 

In addition to being evidence-based, our ABA therapy is also assent-based, prioritizing the individual's willingness to participate and their comfort during sessions.
