USING THE SCIENCE OF ABA
Specially Designed Programming In A Structured Learning Environment
Learn & Play uses the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to improve behavior in children ages 3 – 10, while teaching new skills in a naturalistic environment. At the Center for Learn & Play, we use a play-based approach developed using evidence-based practices from this scientific field.
Our Center-based program is made up of inclusive classes, specialized lessons, and play-based ABA therapy. The program utilizes a variety of spaces located at the Center, including the Gymnasium, Studios, Gross Motor Room, and fenced-in playground.
Why Is Learn & Play Different?
Play-based ABA Therapy at the Center for Learn & Play blends developmental and behavioral approaches to modify behavior. Learn & Play focuses on relationship building through play. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is personally involved every step of the way.
What Is Play-Based ABA Therapy?
Play-based ABA Therapy is individualized using the child’s interest and conducted through play. This keeps sessions fun and engaging while motivating children to learn.
