Evidence Based Services

Our ABA programs work on teaching new skills, reducing problematic behaviors, and focus on increasing language and social skills. Programs increase socialization and teach prerequisite learning skills such as attention to task, waiting, responding to requests, sitting at a desk, among others. Programs are individualized based on your child's skill level. Initial assessments provide baseline information. Common assessment tools include the ABLLS-R, the VB-MAPP, AFLS, direct observation, previous educational assessments, and input from parents. This information is gathered to create an individualized set of goals and procedures. To utilize best practice, an online data collection system is used to collect data on goals for more efficient program development and to quickly track progress. To meet the varied needs of families, Life Strategies employs a team of professionals with a wide range of specializations, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, and Licensed Clinical Social Workers. Life Strategies specializes in ABA Therapy for children and adolescents living with Autism. In-home and center-based ABA programs are supervised by a team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). In-home and center-based ABA programs are tailored to fit your child's specific needs and we work closely alongside parents and family members.
