Little Spero Autism Creative Therapy
Center-Based ABA Therapy
Little Spero provides center-based ABA therapy for children with autism at our Celina center. Each child receives an individualized treatment plan overseen by a BCBA, with one-to-one support from an RBT. Our full-time program provides up to 40 hours of therapy and care each week, with goals based on your child’s needs.
How Your Child’s ABA Treatment Is Planned and Delivered
Your child’s ABA program starts with an assessment by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The BCBA looks at your child’s strengths, current skills and areas where they need support before setting individual treatment goals.
Assessment and Goal Setting With a BCBA
The treatment plan is built around your child rather than a standard set of goals. The BCBA selects goals based on the skills and behaviors identified during your child’s assessment.
Your child’s goals are reviewed as therapy progresses, so the treatment plan can change when their needs or progress change.
One-to-One ABA Therapy With an RBT
A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works one-to-one with your child on the goals in their treatment plan under BCBA supervision.
During sessions, the RBT works on targeted skills and follows the strategies in the treatment plan while data is collected on your child’s progress. That data helps the BCBA see what is progressing and where additional support may be needed
autism therapy services for Kids
Little Spero’s clinical team is led by Paul Archibeque, BCBA and Chief Clinical Officer. He has worked with children on the autism spectrum since 2006 and spent eight years as a behavior technician and lead RBT before becoming a BCBA.
Paul has provided ABA and clinical supervision in schools, homes and ABA centers. He also oversees clinical direction across Little Spero locations.
Skills Your Child Can Work On Through ABA Therapy
Your child’s ABA goals are based on the skills they need to build for everyday life. These goals can include communication, social interaction, independence, play, attention and completing daily tasks.
ABA therapy can help your child practice functional communication, such as asking for help, expressing needs and following instructions.
Social goals may include playing with others, taking part in group activities and practicing interactions with other children and adults.
Treatment goals can also focus on practical skills your child uses at home and throughout the day. Depending on their needs, this may include toileting, brushing teeth, washing hands, getting dressed or following basic safety instructions.
Your child may also work on staying engaged with an activity, completing tasks, following classroom instructions and building play skills.
These goals are selected according to your child’s assessment and progress rather than following the same checklist for every child.
Our day program is intentionally designed to help your child reach their fullest potential.
Is highly adaptable so that it can meet your child’s specific needs
Teaches skills that can be used in the classroom, at home, or family and friends
Focuses on short-term improvement and long-term success
How We Measure Your Child’s Progress
Little Spero tracks your child’s progress using data collected during ABA sessions. Your child’s BCBA reviews treatment goals every week and reassesses them every 30 days.
This helps the clinical team see which skills are progressing, where your child may need more support and whether the treatment plan should change.
How Parents Stay Involved in ABA Therapy
Parents receive daily report-outs about their child’s day at the center, including how they ate and used the bathroom.
Every two weeks, your child’s BCBA meets with you to review progress, discuss any changes to the treatment plan and answer your questions. Little Spero also provides tools you can use to practice important skills at home.
What a Day at Little Spero Celina Looks Like
Your child’s day combines one-to-one ABA therapy with structured group activities at the Celina center. The exact schedule depends on your child’s treatment plan and goals.
During one-to-one sessions, your child works with an RBT on the skills selected in their treatment plan. The day can also include Circle Time, Classroom Time, Music and Movement, and Social Skills activities. These different settings give your child opportunities to practice skills individually and with others throughout the day.
