Center Based Therapy Service Offerings
Social Skills Groups
At Apara Autism Centers, we offer specialized social skills services to help individuals develop essential interpersonal abilities. Using evidence-based ABA Therapy, our skilled team works one-on-one with clients to enhance communication, empathy, cooperation, and friendship-building skills. Our personalized programs foster confidence and social competence in various settings, from home to school. By creating a supportive and engaging environment, we empower our clients to navigate social interactions with ease.
Telehealth Services
Virtual ABA therapy, or telehealth, allows your child to access the benefits of therapy from the comfort of home, using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Our dedicated staff is trained to deliver virtual ABA therapy through HIPAA-compliant technology, ensuring convenience and accessibility for your family. This option provides essential services for immunocompromised children and addresses challenges related to remote locations that may delay or inhibit therapy delivery in other settings.
Feeding Therapy
Our feeding program is designed to work with those individuals who engage in problem behaviors around eating new or common foods. This program is based on behavioral principles and evidence-based practices to address concerns such as texture sensitivity, general mealtime problem behaviors, and refusal to feed themselves among others. The Apara Autism Centers’ feeding program is individualized and implemented with additional parent/caregiver consent after all physiological and oral-motor concerns are ruled out by medical professionals.
Speech and Language Therapy
Sticking to our mission and beliefs in the need to combine ABA Therapy with other disciplines, Apara Autism Centers will work with your Speech Therapist or Occupational Therapist in the Apara clinical care setting. If you don’t have a Speech Therapist and this service is medically necessary, Apara can provide internal referrals to help you start the service in the clinic. Speech Therapy follows evidence-based practices and includes individualized treatment plans for each child receiving Speech services. Our BCBAs and your SLPs collaborate along with our parents to create and maintain a highly effective program for your child.
Caregiver Training
Caregiver training is an integral part of our ABA therapy services program. We believe that the more training a parent has in ABA and their child’s specific programming, the better outcome we will see in the future. Each family will have one on one meetings with their BCBA and will be highly involved with their child’s programming and goals. We are a team at Apara, and we want to collaborate with all!
Community & Partner Training
Apara Autism Center strongly believes in training the community to help understand and protect our individuals living with Autism and their families. Collaboration in the community is key when helping an individual reach their fullest potential. Apara’s goal in our Community Training program is to help the community understand Autism and how they can help a family in need.
Our trainings are individualized for each community partner and target the incorporation of the principles of ABA therapy into everyday life for a person with Autism. Trainings can be provided to schools, daycare facilities, medical professionals, first responders and the like.

“I can write pages of praise about the memorial location of Apara… every plan was customized for HIM. It was individual to his needs and if something didn’t work she made sure to change the way it was taught and never gave up. She always saw the potential in my son and as a parent I can never be thankful enough. Also, her team of RBT’s are compassionate, personable, attentive and always willing to go that extra step!”
