In-Home ABA Therapy in East Lyme and Niantic, CT
Niantic, Flanders, East Lyme: the longest drive we make, and worth it.
East Lyme, with Niantic and Flanders inside it, is the farthest town on our map, and we’d rather say that plainly than pretend the shoreline is around the corner from Griswold. It’s about forty minutes. It’s inside our radius. And for a family who wants in-home ABA from a practice led by two Board Certified Behavior Analysts who build the plan and stay on it, the drive is ours to make, not yours.
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. East Lyme is the edge of our map, kept there deliberately for shoreline families whose in-home options are thin.
Getting started in East Lyme
Oak & Arrow is based in Griswold, about 40 minutes from East Lyme, which puts you near the edge of where we work. We’ll be honest about what that means: sessions here are usually scheduled in longer blocks and fewer time slots, so the drive is worth it for everyone, and we’ll tell you on our first call whether our current openings fit your schedule before anyone gets invested. East Lyme sessions are scheduled in the longest blocks and the fewest slots of any town we serve.
Serving East Lyme
East Lyme Public Schools run Flanders, Niantic Center, and Lillie B. Haynes elementary schools into East Lyme Middle and East Lyme High, an in-district system; the special education office is the front door. Rocky Neck State Park and the Niantic Bay Boardwalk are exceptional community-practice settings, open, bounded, and full of the transitions and choices a plan wants to practice. The East Lyme Public Library in Niantic runs a regular small-group Sensory Storytime for young children who find big groups overwhelming or learn best hands-on; registration is required, so check the library calendar early.
What East Lyme families
ask about most
School collaboration and social skills for school-age kids, communication for younger children, and, given the distance, parent collaboration as the engine so progress doesn’t depend on our mileage.
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.
