In-Home ABA Therapy in Canterbury, CT
The quiet edge of Windham County, covered.
Canterbury families often look two directions for help, toward Willimantic and toward Norwich, and find waitlists both ways. Oak & Arrow is a third option: a practice led by two Board Certified Behavior Analysts, based twenty minutes away in Griswold, that comes to your home along Route 169 and builds a plan inside your family’s actual routines.
Services designed and led by Oak & Arrow’s Board Certified Behavior Analysts: Paige Tully, BCBA #1-20-44228, CT license BA.001021, and Tiffany Salvatore, BCBA #1-25-81796, CT license BA.001840. Both came to behavior analysis from the classroom. Canterbury is where the Griswold area meets the Quiet Corner; we know the Route 169 drive well enough to time it by the school buses.
Getting started in Canterbury
Oak & Arrow is based in Griswold, so Canterbury is about 20 minutes away and among the easiest towns on our calendar. After-school and early-evening sessions are realistic here, and first appointments here typically schedule fastest.
Serving Canterbury
Canterbury’s district runs Canterbury Elementary and Dr. Helen Baldwin Middle School, with high school by designation out of town; the special education office is the front door for IEP questions, and the middle-to-high transition is a real planning moment here. Route 169, a National Scenic Byway, is the spine of town, and the Prudence Crandall Museum is the landmark everybody gives directions by. Farm-town geography means community-based practice often happens in the driveway, the barn, and the one general store, which is fine: the skills that matter are the ones that work where your child actually lives. The Canterbury Public Library’s Library of Things lends hands-on items like a kids’ microscope, a Snap Circuits kit, and a ukulele, which makes it easy to build home practice around a shared interest.
What Canterbury families
ask about most
Rural families here most often ask about behavior support and communication, and about parent collaboration, because the distance to everything makes a parent-carried plan the plan that survives.
Social Skills
Taking turns, reading the room, making and keeping friends. Practiced in real settings, because that’s where friendships actually happen.
Functional Communication
Helping your child ask for what they need, in words, signs, or pictures. For many kids this is where everything else starts.
Behavior Support
Aggression, bolting, transitions that run the house. Every behavior is doing a job for your child. We find the job, then teach a safer, easier way to get it done.
Executive Functioning
Routines, transitions, starting and finishing things. The skills that make school days and mornings work.
Daily Living Skills
Dressing, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning up. Everyday routines, taught step by step until your child can run them on their own.
Parent Collaboration
You’re part of every session, because the plan only works if it keeps working after I leave. Teaching you is part of the job.
Something else going on?
Most of what families bring me doesn’t fit neatly in a box, and the assessment is where we find out what actually helps.
How to Get Started
Questions from Canterbury families
For in-home work, distance is our problem, not yours. We come to you; there’s no drive on your end at all.
With your consent, yes, including the out-of-town high school your child is designated to.
When it serves a goal, absolutely. Transitions and safety are best taught where they happen.
