ABA SERVICES
Neurodiversity-affirming care
We at Rosie Behavior, LLC provide individualized ABA services for children and adolescents ages 0 to 17 years, diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or Down syndrome.
We offer a range of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) service models based on individual needs. We aim to teach outside of the box with the understanding that there is no "one-size fits all".
Rooted in neurodiversity-affirming and child-led practices, we honor your child's autonomy while building functional skills that enhance independence and quality of life.
3 levels of ABA service
Therapy takes place in the environments that matter most, including home and community settings.
This helps skills naturally generalize into everyday life.
After an initial assessment, our team will determine the level of service that is clinically recommended for your child.
-
Our Focused ABA Model provides individualized, child-led support for learners who would benefit from targeted intervention that works in tandem with school and other therapies (i.e., Speech, Occupational, Physical).
For children who require ongoing direct support across multiple environments to develop, generalize, or maintain skills and safety.
Services are typically delivered 10–20 hours per week and focus on specific areas such as communication, social skills, and/or reducing distressed responses so that the individual may participate and interact positively with the world around them.
Caregivers are active members of the treatment team, receiving ongoing coaching to support consistent, values-driven, person-centered care across settings.
-
Our Comprehensive ABA Model provides intensive support for young children who benefit from intervention across multiple areas of development, including communication, social-emotional skills, play, learning readiness, adaptive skills, and/or reducing distressed responses.
For children who require intensive, frequent support across all domains of functioning. Their needs are complex and persistent, impacting safety and ability to independently function in natural settings and routines.
Services are typically delivered 20+ hours per week.
Caregivers are essential members of the treatment team, partnering with our clinicians through ongoing coaching to ensure skills are generalized and maintained, as well as aligned with each family's values.
-
The Caregiver Coaching Model is designed for children whose treatment goals are less intensive and can be best achieved through caregiver consultation rather than direct therapy.
You are partnered with a BCBA to build the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to implement evidence-based ABA strategies during everyday routines and activities.
Caregivers receive individualized coaching and training focused on functional communication, positive behavior support, skill generalization, and behavior management strategies.
Regular coaching sessions provide opportunities to review progress, answer questions, problem-solve challenges, and collaborate on treatment goals.
By empowering caregivers to consistently apply ABA strategies across home and community settings, this model promotes meaningful, lasting improvements in the child's skills and the family's overall quality of life.
Frequently Asked Service Questions
-
After your assessment, the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) will develop a treatment plan that a Registered Behavior Technician® (RBT®). The RBT will run and record the results of specific programs. Your BCBA will regularly supervise, review progress, and adjust programs as needed.
Each ABA session is going to look a little different since we personalize treatment for your family and child.
The foundation will always be neurodiversity-affirming and child-led.
At times, sessions might look like a lot of play, but in the famous words of Fred Rogers, “Play is really the work of childhood.”
Children learn best when they have space to explore and time to make choices.
For example, playing with monster trucks with a 4 year old child, our team can incorporate teaching trials of: requesting, waiting, tolerating denial, sharing, cooperative play, receptive and expressive verbs.
Or watching a YouTube video with a 12 year old adolescent, our team can incorporate commenting about the environment, retelling a story, turn taking, coping skills (i.e., if the internet is buffering), waiting, tolerating denial, labeling socially appropriate or inappropriate behaviors, and so much more.

Parent training isn't just telling you what to do. At Rosie Behavior, we call it Caregiver Coaching because we are a team.
It’s about brainstorming together, giving tools to problem solve, and regrouping afterwards to determine next steps.
At minimum, caregivers will meet with their supervising behavior analyst once a month.
Similarly to direct sessions, each parent training session will be individualized.
At times, it involves reviewing progress, discussing current and future treatment goals, and coaching on how to practice skills learned during sessions to ensure retention.
Other times, we might be discussing a new challenging behavior or preparing for an event like a haircut or a trip to Disney.
Caregivers are encouraged to ask questions during direct sessions and during one-on-one parent meetings.
-
We know it can be uncomfortable having new people in your home.
It’s our priority to have fully trained and supported staff to provide you with with the highest level of care and respect.
Our team includes Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and all professionals trained in trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming care.
BCBAs have a master’s degree in education or psychology, 2000 hours of supervised fieldwork, and complete 32 hours of continuing education every 2 years.
RBTs complete a 40 hour hands-on training and must complete 12 hours of professional development every 2 years.
Every staff member passes a background check, receives ongoing training (i.e., Universal Protocols and De-Escalation Training, family-centered practice, overview of child/adolescent development, and more), mentorship, and supervision to ensure they feel supported, because when our staff thrive, so do our children.
-
Yes! While RBTs and BCBAs work directly with the clients in the home, the sole responsibility of the client remains with the guardians and caregivers.
RBTs and BCBAs are not licensed caregivers, and at no point shall be left alone with the client in the home without a designated caregiver over the age of 18 years old.
A designated caregiver may be anyone who is legally able to remain in the home without an adult and who has been approved to care for the child in the absence of the parent or guardian.
