Generalization of Skills

Many people who require ABA therapy struggle with generalizing skills. This means they may learn a skill in one setting (clinic / school etc.) but struggle to apply it in the natural setting (home / grocery store etc.). With The Kehlenbeck Center, therapy can be provided in the setting where the skill is naturally going to be used. We also teach YOU, the caregiver, so that you can help by applying techniques wherever and whenever they are needed.

There are so many reasons why The Kehlenbeck Center sees caregiver training as the MOST important part of therapy. Not only does it help when a client is struggling to generalize (perform a skill previously learned to a new setting), but it makes therapy short term. When you, the caregiver, have the skills to teach using ABA, you can increase your independence as well as theirs. Whether the client is 3 years old or 53 years old, these methods can be effective for a lifetime.
