Walks in the park, days on the playground, seasonal shifts and natural wonder — empowering your child to experience the community encourages independence, essential skill development and personal joy and fulfillment. Maxim Behavioral’s community applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy offers a structured and systemic learning experience for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in real-life environments.

The possibilities of holistic ABA support

Our dedicated behavior analysts empower children to explore their community and learn and grow in the process by carefully choosing safe locations depending on your child’s goals and needs while monitoring their interactions.

Skills generalization

Transferring skills from one environment to another is essential for individuals with autism. By applying skills to real-life situations with various people, we encourage independence and adaptability.

Social skills development

Community-based ABA therapy allows your child to generalize social skills in everyday environments such as the library, local restaurants, grocery stores and parks or playgrounds, empowering development.

Functional communication

Learning how to ask for help in public spaces, ordering food at a restaurant or making social connections — community-based outings facilitate valuable communication skills.

Behavior support

Behavior technicians support children and their families through challenging or dangerous behaviors, including managing responses to loud noises, introducing replacement behaviors and applying calming techniques.

Environmental awareness

Children learn to familiarize themselves with various public spaces, use public facilities, read signs and locate essential community resources.

Compassionate community therapy

Our ABA services apply a holistic approach that incorporates educational, psychological and developmental techniques to meet your child’s needs during community therapy sessions.

As easy as it is effective

Our convenient, patient-focused approach lets you choose a therapy path that best fits your child and your family. We work with you to establish the ABA therapy solutions that are right for you, in just a few easy steps.
