Teen ABA Therapy
Customized ABA Therapy for Teens
Autism often becomes more evident during the teenage years and can sometimes go undiagnosed until later stages. At ABA Centers of Rhode Island, we recognize the distinct needs of teenagers on the autism spectrum and offer specialized ABA therapy to aid their path toward independence and adulthood. Whether your teen has just been diagnosed or is encountering difficulties with their Individualized Education Program (IEP), our team is equipped with the resources and expertise to support their growth.
Our Teenage ABA Therapy targets objectives and personalized action plans to meet the specific needs and aspirations of adolescents.
