Connect n Care brings expert ABA support straight into the school day across NC and VA.
School is where some of the most important development happens; where friendships form, where independence grows, where learning develops.
It's also where things can get hardest for kids with autism. New environments, transitions, social expectations, sensory demands, all at once, all day.
Connect n Care works directly alongside teachers, aides, and IEP teams to bring ABA support into the school day. We support your child inside school life, in the classroom, in the hallway, at lunch, on the playground, in the real moments where things tend to fall apart and where the biggest gains can be made.
An RBT or BCBA works alongside your child throughout the school day, helping with transitions, offering 1:1 attention, and putting their specific plan into practice in real time.
Before anything else, your child's therapist focuses on building genuine trust. They spend time in activities and conversation your child actually enjoys, because kids engage and learn best with someone they trust first.
Therapists support your child's academic progress with instruction built around how they learn, and help them build social skills through real interactions, from understanding social norms to making friends on the playground.
Using evidence-based ABA techniques, therapists get to the root of behaviors like tantrums and teach your child more effective ways to cope and communicate instead.
Your child's therapist uses methods like Discrete Trial Training and Pivotal Response Training to build new skills in the setting where they actually need to use them.
ABA is the most researched, most validated behavioral intervention for children with autism. When delivered in the school setting by trained professionals working in coordination with educators, it produces measurable improvements in academic performance, social skills, behavior management, and long-term outcomes.
The Autism Society of America recognizes school-based behavioral support as one of the most effective ways to help children with autism build skills that carry into every area of their lives.
