Teen ABA Therapy
ABA Therapy for Teens
At Texas ABA Centers, we specialize in providing transformative ABA therapy programs for teenagers with autism. Our dedicated team is committed to helping teenagers acquire and strengthen valuable skills that will benefit them in the present and pave the way for a successful and fulfilling future.
Teenagers on the autism spectrum often face unique challenges, including difficulties with flexibility, scheduling, and social interactions. Whether your teenager has recently received an autism diagnosis or is experiencing changes in their Individualized Education Program (IEP), our experienced professionals are here to provide the specialized attention and support they need to navigate this crucial phase of life.
Teen ABA Therapy Process
We believe in personalized treatment plans tailored to meet each teenager’s goals and needs. Our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will work closely with your teen to comprehensively evaluate and design targeted interventions that align with their objectives. With our dedicated ABA team by their side, your teenager will make meaningful progress, and we will regularly assess their program to ensure optimal outcomes.
We understand timely access to therapy is essential, so we have streamlined our intake process to minimize wait times. Additionally, our flexible scheduling options work around your family’s busy lifestyle, making it easier for you to incorporate ABA therapy sessions into your routine.
Targeted Skills in Teen ABA Therapy
Our teen ABA therapy programs focus on developing skills crucial for real-world living and empower teenagers with the tools they need to enhance their independence and thrive in various aspects of life.
Social and Communication Skills – For teens, expressing ideas is vital for success. We employ drills and communication exercises to help your teen grow out of their shell.
Self-Care – Hygiene and appearance become increasingly important with age. Our ABA therapy programs for teens help solidify such skills learned in childhood, such as maintaining cleanliness, regular grooming, and brushing teeth. We also ensure that your child has the emotional maturity to become a healthy adult.
Attentiveness – Teen and adult life is full of distractions that require mastery in focus and goal setting. Whether through video games, card games, homework, or other activities, teen ABA therapy can hone your child’s ability to concentrate.
Future Planning – Teen ABA therapy programs help develop necessary post-academic life skills, such as choosing a job, working on a resume, preparing for interviews, and creating a good work environment.
Financial Management – As children reach their teen years, they become more financially responsible. Through simulations and board games, our ABA therapy programs develop skills such as counting money, paying bills, tipping, exchanging currency, and other actions involving money.
Reading – This skill is necessary not only in academics but throughout life. ABA therapy can foster reading comprehension and understanding of symbolism and context, which helps teens to communicate their ideas.
