In-Home ABA Therapy in Willimantic and Windham, CT
Thread City families, covered from the other end of the county.
Willimantic, the city inside the town of Windham, has a hospital, a university, and one of the region’s larger school districts, and still not enough in-home ABA. Oak & Arrow is based in Griswold, about thirty-five minutes away; Windham is at the far edge of our radius and we want to be honest about that, and it’s inside it. A practice led by two Board Certified Behavior Analysts, in your home, with a plan you can read.
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. Windham is the far end of our radius, and we keep it on the map on purpose: a big district with a real need shouldn’t be out of reach because of thirty-five minutes.
Getting started in Willimantic
Oak & Arrow is based in Griswold, about 30 to 35 minutes from Willimantic, 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. Willimantic is the longest drive in the Quiet Corner, scheduled in longer blocks and fewer slots.
Serving Willimantic
Windham Public Schools run a full district from the Windham Early Childhood Center through several elementary schools, Windham Middle, and Windham High, so in-district collaboration is possible from preschool up; the district’s special education office is the front door, and Windham Hospital’s pediatric connections are where many families’ evaluation conversations begin. Eastern Connecticut State University and the Frog Bridge are the landmarks; the Natchaug River trails and the city’s parks are usable community-practice settings. Willimantic also has a large Spanish-speaking community; if your family works in Spanish at home, tell us on the first call so we plan materials and parent collaboration accordingly. The Willimantic Public Library lends themed children’s backpacks, including Sensory and Emotions kits, for three weeks at a time, along with a toy library, so you can try new play materials at home before buying anything.
What Willimantic families
ask about most
School collaboration across a large district, early-childhood communication work, and behavior support. Families here also ask about the drive, which is why we answer it above before they have to.
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.
