LEAP Behavior Consultants

This is what ABA therapy can look like at LEAP:
Intentional, play-based learning.

Using simple activities like this sensory bin, we can:
• increase motivation to request
• build tolerance for new textures
• increase engagement with peers
• target listening skills
• strengthen fine motor skills

We follow the motivation of every learner and start from there. When learning feels natural and fun, real progress happens.

Introducing our LEAP Student Levels!
Tadpole → Froglet → Hopper → Leaper 🐸
This framework helps us track progress, celebrate milestones, and individualize goals so each child can learn, grow, and thrive in their own time.
Our LEAP Student Levels outline the natural progression of skill development, allowing us to tailor intervention, monitor growth, and honor each child’s unique learning path.

ABA strategies are best utilized when woven into natural learning opportunities ✨

Here we focused on:
✔️ Color coding key words
✔️ Breaking down each question
✔️ Teaching how to go back and find answers
✔️ Using visuals and clear choices to build confidence step by step

Teaching new skills doesn’t need to be complicated. Behavioral Skills Training, “BST” gives us a clear roadmap by breaking learning down into 4 steps:
Model → Instruct → Rehearse → Feedback.✅
When we slow it down and teach each piece, our learners gain confidence and success grows. The best part, this practice is applicable for learning any new skill.

Visual schedules reduce uncertainty, prevent frustration, and help our learners feel prepared for what’s coming next. When kids can see the plan, transitions are smoother, cooperation increases, and the whole session feels more predictable and successful. This resource by is one of our favorites. 💚

At LEAP, we believe therapy only works when a child feels safe, respected, and heard. Our approach centers on connection, choice, compassion, and meaningful growth. 🐸💚

Life happens, visuals help! Spent some much-needed time this week prepping visual schedules and classroom rules for our little learners. 🧩

The ABA Therapy process doesn’t have to be complicated. At LEAP we aim to make your start as straightforward as possible with guidance every step of the way.
