Applied Behavior Analysis

As defined by Baer, Wolf, & Risley, “Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the process of systematically applying interventions based upon the principles of learning theory to improve socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree, and to demonstrate that the interventions employed are responsible for the improvement in behavior.“ Social significant behaviors include skills, such as communication, reading, academics, social skills, and adaptive living skills.

Occupational Therapy

You might associate occupation with work, but occupation is anything that keeps you busy during the day. Occupational therapy helps you develop the skills you need to live an active and fulfilling life. Occupational therapy focuses on a child’s fine motor skills, self-help skills, and sensory development. At Stepping Stone Kids Therapy our therapists are trained to evaluate each child, and develop a treatment plan to help the child reach their goals.

Speech Therapy

Speech language Pathologists (SLPs) work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat
speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and
swallowing disorders in children. Speech disorders occur when a person has
difficulty producing speech sounds correctly or fluently (e.g., stuttering is a form
of disfluency) or has problems with his or her voice or resonance.
