Bridging the gap between learning and home life. 🏠✨

At ABAzing, we believe that parent engagement shouldn’t be a "to-do" list—it should be an experience.

We are officially looking for a strategic partner to help us scale our Monthly/Quarterly Parent Engagement Boxes. These curated kits are designed to empower parents with evidence-based tools that make social-emotional learning (SEL) accessible and fun.

This month’s spotlight: "Adventures in Friendship" Our latest module focuses on navigating social dynamics through:

Custom Social Stories: Interactive narratives centered on friendship.
Structured Outlines: Easy-to-follow guides for busy parents.
Data Collection Tools: Simple ways for families to track progress and celebrate wins.

We have the curriculum and the framework; we are looking for a partner with a shared mission to help us bring these tools to more doorsteps. Please Contact 757.848.4469 | Fax: 973.284.8846 | Email: HR@ABAzing.com.

New ABA Goal: Exploring "Lio's Vacation Adventure" Together
This goal is designed to be flexible and focused on positive, joyful interaction, not performance. Our goal is to foster and observe moments of joint engagement, any time your child joins you in the focus and enjoyment of the story. These are any moments where your child actively participates in the shared experience of reading. Highlight Amazon Books Amazon.com Canva

Want to understand what happens behind the ABA therapy door? Here are 3 parent-friendly strategies you can spot during sessions: 1) Task analysis — clinicians break a skill into tiny steps (e.g., dressing: zip, pull sleeves) and teach each step until your child masters it. 2) Positive reinforcement — clinicians praise or give a preferred item immediately after the skill to increase the behavior (watch for consistent, timely rewards). 3) Visual supports — simple picture schedules or choice boards that guide routines and reduce frustration. Each approach is backed by evidence and speeds skill-building when used in individualized plans by well-trained clinicians like ABAzing’s team. Hampton Roads caregivers: look for clear step-by-step teaching, consistent reinforcement, and personalized visuals when choosing care. Learn more and find quality providers: https://wix.to/2yb0aDZ

Hampton Roads families — meet the local network supporting stronger care. 🧡 ABAzing partners with local schools, therapy centers, and support groups to coordinate services so families face fewer barriers. For example: a child starts at a neighborhood school, connects with a partnering speech clinic, and ABAzing works with both teams to align goals, streamline referrals, and schedule consistent sessions — giving parents one coordinated plan instead of chasing resources alone. Ready to learn how we can help your family access seamless care in Hampton Roads?
