In-Home ABA Therapy in Preston, CT
Rural routes, driveway-to-driveway practicality, no commute to Norwich.
Preston sits between Griswold and the center-based programs in Norwich, and most Preston families we hear from have already looked at the drive. In-home flips that: we come to you, sessions happen inside your actual mornings and evenings, and nobody’s loading a tired kid into a car at 4pm. Oak & Arrow is led by two Board Certified Behavior Analysts who build the plan and stay on it.
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. Preston is a fifteen-minute drive we’re glad to make; families here are used to driving for everything else, and we’d rather they didn’t have to for this.
Getting started in Preston
Oak & Arrow is based in Griswold, so Preston is about 15 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 Preston
Preston’s elementary and middle grades run through Preston Veterans’ Memorial School and Preston Plains Middle School, and the district’s special education office is the front door for IEP questions; high schoolers attend designated schools out of town, which makes eighth-grade transition planning a live issue for families here. The Route 2 corridor and the Preston Riverwalk redevelopment are the landmarks families navigate by; Amos Lake and the town’s rural roads make Preston a place where “community-based” often means the back yard and the neighbor’s. Preston Public Library’s weekly storytimes for ages 2 to 5 include hands-on sensory bins and roll right into PPL Playtime, a casual meet-up for practicing greetings, sharing, and staying with a group.
What Preston families
ask about most
Families here often ask about behavior support and communication for younger children, and about coordinating with the school when a child’s team is split between an in-town elementary and an out-of-town high school.
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.
