Parents, Caregivers, and Educators are an essential part of an ABA treatment program. Bright Start is proud to provide Applied Behavioral Analysis services to parents, caregivers, and educators as additional resources for their programming. Our mission is to give parents, caregivers and educators the tools, training, and skills needed to confidently work with children by understanding ABA principles. You are taught how to teach important skills and how to manage behavior in any environment. With an ABA program, you will be empowered to teach your child and to address their challenging behavior.
Social Skills Training
Social skill deficits are a pervasive and enduring feature of autism but can also be observed in typically developing individuals. Poor social skills can affect the ability in which a person makes and/or maintains friendships, participate in classrooms and in the community. Here at BSP, we have learned that not every individual picks up on social cues. Therefore, we stop, observe and program how to teach social skills. We believe people who have difficulty with social skills can be taught in a one-on-one or group teaching formats. The BSP team works together to identify key skills for intervention using different assessment tools (VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, Vineland). We also work with social skills groups, community organizations ( e.g., sports, clubs) and school teams to develop social teaching opportunities during the school day and to include our clients in social settings.
