Supporting Communication, Focus, and IEP Goals in the Classroom
What is in-school ABA therapy in North Carolina?
In-school ABA therapy is a type of autism support delivered directly inside a child’s classroom using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). It helps children build communication, social, behavior, and learning skills during the school day while working toward their IEP goals. Support is provided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and trained therapists who collaborate with teachers to improve classroom success.
In simple terms, in-school ABA therapy helps children learn important life and learning skills in the environment where they spend most of their day.
