Florida Autism Center One-on-One!
Our one-on-one ABA program is geared mainly toward after-school, supplemental service. When a child comes to us for one-on-one therapy, we work on social skills, pre-academics and academics, language, self-care and daily living skills, and basic “following directions” type skills.
There are three main groups of students who receive one-on-one, so sometimes there is a little confusion about this program. Read on for some clarification concerning One-on-One.
The first group of kids who typically receive After-School One-on-One are kids who come to us, either on the bus or with their parents, from another local school. Many times, these children are in a typical classroom, but needs some assistance with homework and study skills, social skills, etc. Kids with a diagnosis of Asperger’s or with specific learning delays are often a great fit for our After-School One-on-One program. If your child needs some help with reading comprehension, or math fluency, or social skills training, or better study skills, or not talking out of turn, or language skills, or completing their chores independently, or any other issues that interrupts their home or school life, that’s exactly what One-on-One therapy is there for.
The second group of kids receiving One-on-One are kids who are also in our school program. Many children who are in our school also stay after school for additional After-School One-on-One. These children work on many of the same goals they work on during the school day, but they receive 100% individual attention to do so. Some of our students have different goals completely from their school program to their One-on-One program. Still other children are actually in a one-on-one ratio program for school, and still stay for After-School One-on-One as an extension to their school day.
Finally, people often confuse our program named One-on-One with our Early Intervention program, and with fairly good reason. Our Early Intervention program is, typically, one-on-one service. The difference is in programming and focus of treatment, not in service delivery model. So, if your child is age 6 or under and needs to receive intensive instruction, check out the Early Intervention program tab, rather than this one.
