Serving Children on the Spectrum From Ages 1 to 6 Years Old
At AB Spectrum, our Reggio ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) therapy goes beyond traditional approaches by viewing children as active participants in their own learning. This child-centered philosophy promotes independence, self-expression, and creativity, which we incorporate into behavior modification using ABA Therapy Services and techniques such as Natural Environment Teaching (NET). NET leverages a child’s natural environment and interests to create engaging, meaningful learning opportunities, making therapy both enjoyable and effective. With a therapist-to-child ratio of 1:1, our therapy is delivered by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), ensuring personalized attention and support.
Exceptional ABA Therapy Services at AB Spectrum include:
This approach ensures that every child receives the highest standard of care, with assessments and strategies designed to meet their unique needs and help them thrive through personalized ABA Therapy Services.
Your child is at the center of our care and so are you. At AB Spectrum, we offer ABA therapy for children aged 2-6, with a focus on individualized care supported by our BHCOE® accreditation. Using our Reggio ABA Curriculum, we recognize the critical importance of preschool years and collaborate closely with parents through regular support meetings to ensure goals are reinforced at home, creating a seamless treatment experience. Our community-based approach, including progress updates with charts and detailed information, is designed to ensure every child reaches their full developmental potential.
Research has shown that children manifest their behaviors at the highest amounts in a natural environment. Autism and Behavioral Spectrum under the Reggio ABA curriculum believe children diagnosed with Autism excel under a Natural Environment Teaching (NET) which is why our facilities replicate a Natural Preschool environment.
At AB Spectrum, we understand that children naturally learn a wide range of skills through play and social interactions. To maximize this learning, our clinicians are trained in Natural Environment Teaching (NET), which integrates therapy into everyday activities, making learning both engaging and effective.
We hold our staff to the highest standards, ensuring quality care for every child. Here’s how we maintain and elevate our team:
In-House RBT Program: Led by our Chief Clinical Officer, a highly experienced BCBA, our successful Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) program has consistently improved the quality of our incoming staff.

✅ Structured Therapy
Reggio ABA is a structured and clinical model rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis. It is not an unstructured or naturalistic play-based approach.
✅ Blends science with creativity
We use hands-on, child-led activities to teach core skills.
For example, instead of using flashcards to teach colors, your child might learn through painting, choosing and labeling colors during the activity. The same ABA principles are used, but in a way that is more engaging and meaningful.
✅ Inspired by leading educational models
Our approach is influenced by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and supported by frameworks like Harvard University’s Project Zero, which emphasizes learning through collaboration and visible thinking.
✅ Same clinical intensity with a more enriching experience
Children receive 30 to 40 hours per week of one-on-one ABA therapy, but with added value from Reggio-inspired activities like group art, nature exploration, and project-based learning.
✅ Proven outcomes
Families often report strong improvements in communication, independence, and behavior within the first six months of therapy.
✅ Therapy with intention
Every play-based activity is guided by clinical goals. Whether it is labeling family members during a painting session or practicing turn-taking, each moment is designed to build communication, social interaction, and emotional regulation with measurable outcomes.
Our in-house diagnostic team, consisting of multiple physicians and clinical psychologists, primarily focuses on diagnosing autism. However, we also work closely with your pediatrician to assess and diagnose a range of behavioral and developmental concerns, including:
