Introduction:
At Beyond The Spectrum ABA Therapy (BTS), we believe every child deserves the opportunity to develop practical skills for everyday life. Our Life Skills Academy is a specialized program designed to help children and adolescents build independence, self-esteem, and confidence—skills that last a lifetime.
What Is the Life Skills Academy?
The Life Skills Academy is an extension of our core ABA therapy services, focusing specifically on teaching daily living skills in a structured, supportive environment. These skills empower children to participate more fully at home, at school, and in the community.
Key Areas of Focus:
Our Life Skills Academy includes instruction in:
- Self-Care and Hygiene: brushing teeth, washing hands, dressing routines
- Meal Preparation: practicing simple cooking skills and preparing snacks in a role play kitchen
- Laundry: using a real washing machine and dryer to wash, dry, fold, and put away clothing
- Shopping and Money Exchange: practicing shopping trips, buying and selling items, and handling payments
- Role Play Activities: rehearsing grocery store visits, ordering at restaurants, or completing chores through guided pretend play
- Community Participation: navigating public places safely and confidently
Our center features dedicated spaces including a role play kitchen, a grocery store setup, and a real-life laundry station, so children can learn essential skills in realistic, hands-on settings.
Why Life Skills Matter
Building life skills is about more than completing tasks—it’s about growing confidence and reducing barriers to independence. Mastering these skills helps children feel capable and proud while easing daily routines for families.
How It Works at BTS
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) assess each child’s needs and create an individualized plan. Skills are taught using evidence-based strategies, positive reinforcement, and plenty of encouragement.
Parents are always welcome to observe sessions in our Parent Viewing Room and learn techniques they can practice at home.
