Aura's
Center-based Program

Aura offers full-day play-based ABA programs for pre-school aged children 2-5 years old. Our clinicians provide individualized treatment to clients in our center located in Sacramento, CA.

Aura's center allows for clients to learn skills in a social setting with their peers as well as through 1:1 therapy. Each client's treatment hours will vary as treatment recommendations are based on medical necessity. 


Comprehensive ABA treatment is typically recommended for clients ages 2-5 years old to bridge the gap between their chronological age and functional age. This type of treatment model generally requires an intensive approach to treatment with a clinical recommendation ranging between 25-40 hours per week. Multiple affected developmental domains as well as challenging behaviors are targeted.

Social Skills Groups promote social interaction between a group of clients to meet individual goals related to socialization. The program is overseen by a team of supervisors, including a BCBA, and allows for our clients to access and establish relationships with peers.

​

Social Skills Coaching provides 1 on 1 direction and guidance on learning social skills both in isolated learning environments and in the learner's natural environment.

ASSESSMENT

Read More

Assessment in ABA involves identifying behaviors, understanding their causes, and creating strategies to improve or replace them. This process includes observing behavior, gathering information from those involved, and analyzing patterns. The goal is to develop a clear, individualized plan that guides effective, evidence-based interventions.

Parent/Caregiver Training is an integral part of a client’s treatment plan. This less intensive training model provides parents/caregivers the tools they need to promote ongoing behavioral support to their children.

 

Aura may provide Parent/Caregiver training in individual or group format to either supplement a client’s treatment plan or in isolation. Parent/Caregiver training is a key component to our treatment plan.
