Great Moments in Therapy at Horizon.
Check out this awesome session where our young learner and their RBT are mastering language development, imitation, and following instructions using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

🌟 Exciting progress in language development! 🌟

Check out this sweet moment of a child and therapist working together. Using a simple sound pull tube, the child is practicing imitation and following instructions, key steps in building communication skills. Imitation helps kids mimic sounds and actions, while following instructions strengthens their ability to understand and respond. Love seeing these milestones in action

Celebrating the Power of ABA Therapy!

Looking for a way to support your child’s growth in social play and communication? Horizon provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy which is making a difference for so many families! 💙

Plus, ABA fosters communication—whether it’s verbal, non-verbal, or using assistive tools—empowering kids to express themselves with confidence!

The best part? ABA is tailored to each child’s unique needs, creating a positive, supportive environment where they can shine. Let’s celebrate the joy of progress and connection!

Today, our team came together to reflect on the ethics of providing ABA therapy. We dove deep into assent-based teaching, prioritizing a learner’s consent over compliance.

Together, we brainstormed ways to empower our learners to practice self-advocacy. Everyone deserves the right to say “no,” “not right now,” or “how about later?”

Our goal is to support our learners in navigating demands with confidence, advocating for what they assent to and feeling safe to withdraw assent when needed. Knowing we are listening to them and supporting them each step of the way!

“But does he really need that to communicate? Can’t he just talk?”

Nah. We just thought it’d be fun to add another thing to charge at night.

Letting someone communicate in whatever way works for them isn’t giving up. It’s giving access!

“But does he really need that to communicate? Can’t he just talk?”

Nah. We just thought it’d be fun to add another thing to charge at night.

We picked the long, expensive route for character development. 💁🏻‍♀️

Jokes aside, studies have shown that AAC devices don’t delay speech. In fact, they often help support and develop it.

Letting someone communicate in whatever way works for them isn’t giving up. It’s giving access.

Watching children plant something with their own hands and gift it to someone is more than just a sweet gesture—it’s a powerful learning moment.

It’s not just about gardening—it’s about growing kindness, confidence, and connection.

This week was all about outdoor fun! Our friends enjoyed playing classic games like Red Light, Green Light and Tag, popping bubbles, and even shared laughs bouncing on bouncy balls.

Why is play an essential skill to develop in ABA therapyy?

1. Developing social skills teaches sharing, taking turns, and cooperation.

2. Helps build friendships that foster connections and relationships with peers.

3. Improves communication by enhancing verbal and non-verbal interactions with others

4. Helps build understanding, managing emotions, and empathy.

5. Promotes cognitive development, skills for problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability.

Social play lays the foundation for lifelong social competence, relationships, and emotional well-being!

Nothing beats the joy of connecting with friends and making memories together!

This month, our families came together to prioritize self-care! We know that taking care of yourself is essential to being able to support others.

Our families shared ideas and encouraged each other to make time for self-care, even when life gets busy. From mindfulness practices to hobbies and relaxation techniques, we're reminded that self-care is not selfish - it's necessary!

Thanks to our amazing families for prioritizing their well-being and supporting one another.
