Introducing Circle Care’s Inclusion Program
for children with ASD.

Now your child can thrive
in a mainstream environment.

With supportive in-class ABA therapy at your preschool of choice.

Special schools are not for everyone.

“Breakthrough research has shown that toddlers with autism are just as capable of learning important life skills through early-intervention delivered in mainstream pre-schools as in specialized settings.”

-La Trobe University, November 12, 2018

You want your child to have

the best preschool experience.

Option 2. Specialized preschool catering exclusively to children with ASD?

(How will my child learn to integrate or pick up social skills if they only interact with other children with ASD?)

Option 1: Mainstream preschool + hours of afterschool 1:1 therapy?

(So much scheduling. So exhausting. So many people to check in with.)

3. Thankfully, there’s an Option 3…

With Circle Care’s Preschool Inclusion Program

You can have the best of both worlds.

Your child can now receive 1:1 ABA therapy in their mainstream classroom.

Under the direction of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), your child’s therapist will support and guide your child, ensuring they are reaching their personal goals. Your child will be able to progress at their own pace while interacting with a diverse range of children.

The BCBA will regularly re-evaluate progress, coordinate care and train any adults working with your child (teachers, speech or occupational therapists) so that they continuously master and retain new skills.

I’d love to hear more!

Here’s how it works:

Evaluation

Circle Care Service will send in a BCBA to evaluate your child’s strengths, weaknesses, and areas requiring improvement.

Goal-Setting

Your child’s BCBA will set and prioritize goals, outlining an individualized roadmap for all members of the care team to follow.

Intervention

An ABA therapist will work with your child in school, under the supervision of a BCBA, facilitating their developmental, social, and academic growth.

What is Applied Behavior Analysis?

Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is an evidence-based practice for treating developmental challenges like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This form of behavior intervention draws on the principles of psychology to help individuals learn new skills while reducing problematic habits.

Where and How it Works

At its core, ABA looks at the relationship between environmental events and a person’s behavior to identify patterns. The goal is to better understand why certain behaviors are happening and then use positive reinforcement techniques to shape new, more desirable ones.

ABA is used in many different settings, including educational classrooms, therapeutic centers, clinics, and even in-home settings. It can also be used to help individuals with other developmental conditions, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Down Syndrome.

ABA is a powerful treatment method for challenges of many skills and tasks, including:

Communication
Social skills
Self-care
Academic performance

Practiced regularly, it has the potential to steer a child’s life in a much more positive and inclusive direction.

What Is Community-Based ABA Therapy?

Specialized treatment programs like Applied Behavior Analysis can happen in a variety of environments. Often, community and school settings prove most effective in getting children the help they need to reach their goals.

At its core, community-based ABA therapy is any ABA treatment that takes place in public spaces. Often, this is at school, but it can also include playgrounds and recreational facilities.

This arrangement is helpful for children who may be uncomfortable in a clinical setting or are resistant to traditional ABA approaches. It feels more natural and relaxed. This can allow for more meaningful interactions between the child and therapist.

School-based ABA therapy is administered in both public schools and private schools across the country. Many school districts invest heavily in on-site resources and staff to administer their own programs or partner directly with third-party service providers. In most cases, the latter arrangement works best.
An experienced autism spectrum provider can best focus on a child’s treatment. They pinpoint where ABA therapy can help, like behavior or social skills, and coordinate with school professionals to keep progress on track.

The Benefits of ABA Therapy In Schools

Both community-based ABA therapy and school-based ABA therapy are common treatment choices among families of children with developmental disabilities. The benefits of taking behavioral interventions to the school setting are numerous.
They include:

Improved Accessibility

One of the primary benefits of school-based ABA therapy is increased accessibility. School-based programming offers students with disabilities access to resources and expertise typically only available through a limited number of clinics or private practice providers.

Direct Support

Parents of kids with autism know all too well that the classroom setting isn’t always equipped to help their child succeed. Bringing the behavior analysts into school ensures they get direct support where they need it most.

Increased Interaction with Peers

School-based ABA therapy also offers students with autism increased opportunities for social interaction and peer learning. This can help the student better integrate into school and community life while also improving their academic performance.

In-School ABA Therapy FAQ's

Preparing for Community-Based ABA Therapy

Community-based ABA therapy sessions work very much like those that take place in a clinic or home: everything starts with an assessment.
Before they can plan the best course of action, behavior analysts need to establish a baseline understanding of the child's unique:

Habits
Triggers
Learning styles

Once the assessment is complete, a plan can be developed. This involves creating specific goals and objectives that address the child's needs and designing strategies for achieving those goals. They can be approached slowly or quickly - it's all about whatever works best for the child and family.
Therapy sessions occur regularly (ideally twice a week) and typically last an hour or two.

What Happens During a Session?

During a session, the behavior analyst works with the child to review previously learned skills and introduce new concepts. The focus is on breaking tasks down into smaller steps—this helps promote understanding and makes it easier for the child to practice and succeed.

As for what parents should expect when starting ABA therapy? For starters, setting aside time to work with their children is key. They may also be asked to attend some sessions, observe others, and practice skills at home too.

Is School-Based ABA Therapy Paid for By Insurance?

The cost of school-based ABA therapy can be covered in one or more ways, including insurance. Individual school districts may also offer services and programs that cover ABA therapy. We recommend checking in with your child's school to find out what, if any, ABA-related services they provide. And, of course, reviewing your insurance plan to see what kind of support it offers is also important!

Where Can I Find Good Community-Based ABA Therapy?

ABA has the potential to be life-changing for children with autism. Like all forms of therapy, however, it's only ever as effective as the behavior analysts providing it are qualified.

ABA therapy in schools is nothing new; you may already be aware of a program in your child's private school or public school but are unsatisfied with its quality. Sometimes, the best treatment options are those offered by a third-party organization - like Circle Care.
