Services & Process

Services

Stepping Stones ABA offers a variety of services for your child. Our licensed and certified ABA therapists will create an individualized program specifically for your child. We will work with your child and your family to listen to all of our thoughts and concerns to create the best program adjusting our professional therapy techniques as needed to maximize their learning. Our trained therapists will provide 1:1 training following the customized plan and ABA techniques as guided and supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts. Consultation and Parent/Family training are also integral parts of our 1:1 therapy program.

ABA Assessment/Treatment Planning

Starting ABA therapy can feel overwhelming, but our goal is to make the process as smooth and supportive as possible. During intake, we’ll take the time to learn about your child, listen to your concerns, and understand what is most important to your family. Our BCBA will complete a comprehensive assessment by observing your child, talking with caregivers, and using evidence-based assessment tools when needed. Together, we’ll create an individualized treatment plan that builds on your child’s strengths while targeting skills that promote greater independence, communication, and quality of life. From your first phone call through the start of services, we’re here to answer questions, provide guidance, and partner with your family every step of the way.

1:1 Direct Therapy

Our one-on-one ABA therapy sessions are individualized to meet your child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. Therapy is provided by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) under the ongoing supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Through engaging, play-based, and evidence-based teaching strategies, your child will build important skills such as communication, social interaction, daily living, emotional regulation, and independence while reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning or everyday life. Sessions are designed to be fun, motivating, and meaningful, helping your child develop skills that can be used confidently at home, in school, and within the community.

Parent Training/Support

Parents and caregivers play an essential role in a child’s success, which is why parent training is a key part of our services. During these collaborative sessions, your BCBA will provide practical strategies, coaching, and support to help you confidently reinforce skills and address challenges in everyday routines. Together, we’ll celebrate progress, problem-solve obstacles, and ensure everyone is working toward the same goals. Our objective is to empower families with the knowledge and tools they need to create meaningful, lasting progress that extends well beyond therapy sessions.

Social Groups

SSABA’s “Hang Out” is an inclusive social group where kids and teens can connect, have fun, and build lasting friendships. Open to children and teens ages with or without a diagnosis such as autism or ADHD, “Hang Out” provides opportunities to practice social skills in a relaxed, supportive environment. Through games, activities, conversations, and shared experiences, participants can grow their confidence, make meaningful connections, and simply enjoy spending time with peers who understand and support them. With both in-person and virtual options available, there’s a place for everyone to belong.

Independent Educational Evaluations for Schools

Our Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) provide schools and families with objective, comprehensive assessments to better understand a student’s behavioral and educational needs. Conducted by experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), these evaluations include record reviews, interviews, direct observations, and data analysis to develop individualized, evidence-based recommendations. Our goal is to provide clear, practical guidance that supports student success while fostering collaboration among families, school teams, and other professionals. Whether an IEE is requested to gain additional insight, inform educational planning, or resolve questions regarding services, we are committed to delivering thorough, unbiased evaluations that prioritize the best interests of the student.
