B.R.I.D.G.E.S. Program – Building Relationships, Independence, Determination, Group & Essential Skills (ABA for Preteens and Teenagers)
ABtA’s Activities of Daily Living (ADL) program is designed to teach meaningful life skills to learners ages 8+ through evidenced-based ABA programming. Learners receive 1:1 instruction in a group setting to target daily living, communication, and social skills.
Our goal is for learners to increase their autonomy and confidence in a fun and individualized environment that is set up to offer frequent teaching opportunities and peer interactions.
Learners are offered opportunities to cook and prepare meals, complete household tasks such as laundry and cleaning, and participate in group projects and crafts such as gardening and painting. There is a focus on self-advocacy as well as identifying and communicating emotional states while building peer relationships through naturally embedded opportunities.
Overall, this center-based program is designed with collaboration from the learners’ families to target meaningful goals that increase independence in the home and community settings through generalization.
