It's never too late for ABA therapy. Our teen program focuses on independence, social skills, and preparing for adulthood—skills that will serve your teenager for the rest of their life. We understand that the teenage years bring unique challenges, from navigating complex social dynamics in high school to planning for a career or higher education. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design age-appropriate, collaborative treatment plans that respect your teen's growing autonomy while providing the structure they need to succeed.
Our teen program is designed for real-world success. We work on practical skills that help your teenager thrive in high school and beyond.
Building meaningful friendships, understanding social cues, and navigating peer relationships at school and in the community.
Executive function skills, organization, time management, and self-advocacy for classroom accommodations.
Daily living skills, money management, transportation, and preparing for young adulthood.
Teaching teens to communicate their needs, understand their diagnosis, and advocate for themselves.
Managing anxiety, frustration, and stress through coping strategies that work for their unique brain.
Personal safety, appropriate boundaries, online safety, and recognizing unsafe situations.
Many parents wonder if ABA is right for their teenager. Here's what you should know.
No! While early intervention is ideal, teens benefit significantly from ABA. The focus shifts to independence, social skills, and transition planning—skills they'll use for life. Research confirms that ABA remains effective throughout adolescence and adulthood, particularly for building adaptive living skills, executive functioning, and emotional regulation strategies.
Our approach is collaborative and teen-centered. We incorporate their interests, respect their autonomy, and work on goals that matter to THEM—not just to parents. By involving teens in their own goal-setting and using age-appropriate reinforcement (like access to electronics, outings, or hobbies), we build a therapeutic alliance that feels supportive rather than controlling.
Many teens receive late diagnoses. ABA can help at any stage, addressing challenges they've been navigating and building skills for adulthood. Whether your teen is dealing with social anxiety, organizational difficulties, or sensory sensitivities, our personalized programs can provide the tools they need to navigate their diagnosis with confidence.
Teen ABA focuses on real-world skills—job readiness, college prep, social independence, and self-advocacy. Sessions may occur in community settings, not just at home. We move away from simple play-based learning toward functional skills training, such as managing money, using public transportation, interviewing for jobs, and navigating complex peer relationships.
