In-Home ABA Therapy in Ledyard, CT
For Ledyard and Gales Ferry families, including the ones on Navy time.
Ledyard is two places, the town and Gales Ferry, and a lot of families here are on Navy time: sub-base schedules, PCS clocks, and a therapy search that has to work faster than a civilian waitlist. Oak & Arrow is a practice led by two Board Certified Behavior Analysts, based twenty-five minutes away in Griswold, that comes to your home and builds a plan you can take with you if orders come.
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. Much of Paige’s in-home experience was with military families, and she understands the clock a PCS puts on everything.
Getting started in Ledyard
Oak & Arrow is based in Griswold, about 25 minutes from Ledyard. That’s comfortably inside our radius: after-school sessions are realistic, and we plan routes so families in this corridor aren’t paying for our windshield time.
Serving Ledyard
Ledyard Public Schools run Gales Ferry School and Juliet W. Long School into Ledyard Middle and Ledyard High, an in-district system; the special education office is the front door, and for military families, the school liaison at the base and the district’s records-transfer process matter as much as the IEP itself. The Mashantucket area and Route 12 are the landmarks; the local reality is the Naval Submarine Base next door in Groton and the families whose timelines it sets. Navy families enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program can also work with the EFMP Family Support liaison at the base’s Fleet and Family Support Center, who shares information on early intervention and special education, makes referrals, and helps build a family support plan.
What Ledyard families
ask about most
Communication and behavior support for young children, executive functioning around school transitions, and, from military families, a plan and a written record that travel: goals, data, and a summary a new provider at the next duty station can pick up cold.
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.
