School-Based ABA Therapy in Northern New Jersey
Individualized support designed to help children participate, communicate, and use important skills throughout their school day.
Helping Skills Carry Into the Classroom
Children may learn a skill successfully at home or in a clinic but still need support using it in another environment. School-based ABA creates opportunities to use developing skills within classroom routines, peer interactions, transitions, and other parts of the day.
Classroom Participation
Support engagement, learning routines, and self-advocacy throughout the school day.
Communication
Practice functional communication with educators, peers, and other support people.
Transitions & Safety
Build skills for navigating changes in routine and participating more safely.
Peer Interaction
Support social skills, independence, and participation with classmates.
Consistency Across Environments
When appropriate and authorized, Lighthouse can collaborate with caregivers, educators, and other members of a child’s support team. The goal is greater consistency between home, therapy, and school.
