Center-Based ABA Therapy
A language-rich space where children who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing can play, learn and grow with therapists who sign, speak and enter their world.
A Space Built for DHH Children
At Hand in Hand ABA Therapy, our center is built from the ground up for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children with disabilities and other developmental disabilities. Your child is supported by therapists who sign, gesture, speak, and understand their world. This is a language-rich, visually accessible space where communication comes first and every child's identity is honored.
An ABA Therapy Center Where Your Child Feels Seen, Understood, and Safe
Many families come to Hand in Hand ABA Therapy after struggling in settings that were not designed for DHH learners. We've designed our center to be different.
- Visual schedules, clear sightlines, and communication-friendly layouts
- Deaf and ASL-fluent clinicians and staff who understand Deaf culture
- A calm sensory environment with reduced auditory overload
- Spaces for play, movement, and hands-on learning
- A team trained in both behavioral best practices and DHH accessibility
What Center Based ABA Therapy Looks Like at Hand in Hand ABA
Every session blends evidence-based ABA Therapy strategies with accessible, child-first center-based instruction:
- Visual and Multimodal First Instruction
Therapists communicate through ASL, gestures, PECS, AAC, and spoken language based on your child’s preferred modality. - Naturalistic and Play-Based Learning
Learning happens through play, social routines, hands-on activities, and everyday moments that make sense to children. - Communication at the Center of Every Goal
We build expressive and receptive language using ASL, PECS, AAC, sign-supported speech, and multimodal communication. - Sensory-Supportive Therapy Rooms
Our center includes movement tools, quiet spaces, sensory objects, and regulation supports designed specifically for DHH learners. - Consistent Collaboration With Parents
Families receive updates, training, and guidance so progress at the center transfers smoothly to home and school.

At our center-based aba therapy clinic, we provide individualized attention to each child, ensuring that their unique needs are met. For example, we incorporate play-based learning techniques that foster engagement and motivation, which are crucial for effective therapy. Our trained professionals work closely with families to develop tailored programs that not only focus on skill acquisition but also enhance social interactions and communication abilities.
In addition, we offer a variety of group activities that encourage peer interactions, helping children practice their social skills in a supportive environment. For instance, we organize weekly social skills groups where children can participate in games, role-playing, and other interactive activities, allowing them to learn and apply social cues in real-time.
Parent involvement is another cornerstone of our approach. We hold regular workshops for parents that focus on strategies to support their child’s learning at home. These workshops cover various topics, from effective communication techniques to ways of reinforcing skills learned during therapy sessions.
Moreover, our facility includes sensory rooms designed to help children self-regulate and find calm in a stimulating environment. These rooms are equipped with various tools and materials that cater to sensory needs, such as weighted blankets, fidget toys, and calming lights.
Finally, we continuously assess and track each child’s progress through regular evaluations, ensuring that they are meeting their goals and receiving the support they need. Our commitment to ongoing assessment allows us to adapt our strategies and interventions as necessary, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every child.
