Heart Core ABA – ABA Therapy

Autism social skills therapy at Heart Core ABA involves a variety of structured, age-appropriate activities designed to improve communication, empathy, and peer interaction. These sessions typically follow a predictable routine including a warm-up greeting circle, a main skill-building activity, and a cool-down for reflection.

Specific activities mentioned in the program include:

• Role-playing: Children act out real-world scenarios, such as pretend parties, sharing toys, or school interactions, to practice social cues and greetings.
• Cooperative Games: Activities like board games, musical statues, and group challenges teach turn-taking, patience, and team problem-solving.
• Interactive Exercises: Tools such as conversation cubes for practicing questions, emotion charades, and emotion match-ups help children recognize and respond to nonverbal cues.
• Visual and Sensory Activities: Modern techniques like video modeling and sensory-friendly games (e.g., self-control bubbles) are used to reinforce positive behaviors and emotional regulation.

These activities are led by BCBAs and RBTs who use positive reinforcement and structured prompts to help children build confidence in a safe, supportive group environment.
