In-Home ABA Therapy in Lisbon, CT
Next door to home base, and one of the shortest drives on our calendar.
Lisbon families are our nearest neighbors. Oak & Arrow is based just across the town line in Griswold, which means the thing that usually complicates in-home therapy, the provider’s commute, barely exists here. For a Lisbon family, in-home means we’re at your door quickly, sessions can land in the after-school window when home life actually happens, and there’s no drive to Norwich for a center program unless a center is genuinely what your child needs.
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. Lisbon is the town next door to our Griswold home base; we know its roads at 3:30 on a school day.
Getting started in Lisbon
Oak & Arrow is based in Griswold, so Lisbon is about 10 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 Lisbon
Lisbon Central School covers preschool through eighth grade in one building, which keeps a child’s whole team in one place; if your child has an IEP or you’re wondering about one, the special education office there is the front door. Lisbon’s high schoolers attend designated schools out of town, and the transition planning that comes with that is a real executive-functioning moment we’ve watched families work through. The Lisbon Landing plaza off Route 12 is, honestly, a practice field: a store run with a plan is one of the best community-based sessions there is. Lisbon has no library of its own, but residents can get a card at the Slater Library in Jewett City, whose children’s department lends a toy library and take-home kits like an Emotions and Empathy Kit for practicing feelings words at home.
What Lisbon families
ask about most
Small-town families tend to reach out about the daily-routine work: communication at home, transitions, and the parent collaboration that makes a plan hold between visits. With Lisbon this close, we can also structure shorter, more frequent sessions when that fits a younger child better than long blocks.
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 Lisbon families
Usually among the fastest on our calendar; the drive is short enough that first appointments slot in easily.
No. School collaboration happens with your consent wherever your child is enrolled, in-district or designated.
Yes, when the goal calls for it: the store, the playground, the places your child’s week actually touches.
