At Beyond The Spectrum ABA Therapy (BTS), we proudly provide after-school program Services in Alpharetta, Georgia, supporting children aged seven and older who benefit from structured, skill-based learning beyond regular school hours. This specialized program creates an environment where children can continue their growth in behavior management, social interaction, and daily living skills under the guidance of experienced therapists.
After-School Program (7 Years and Up)
In addition to our core early intervention services, we also offer an After-School Program for a limited number of school-aged children (7 years and older). This program is specifically designed to meet the needs of older children, and it operates in a separate section of our center to ensure that there is no overlap or interaction with our younger clients.
We provide dedicated resources and staffing for these children, offering them a supportive environment that focuses on:
- Behavioral support at school: Helping children manage classroom behaviors and social challenges.
- In-Home therapy: Addressing daily living skills, family dynamics, and behavioral management at home.
- School readiness and transitions: Assisting children in adapting to new school environments, managing peer relationships, and coping with changes in academic expectations.
This program is structured to ensure that older children continue to benefit from ABA therapy in a setting that is specifically tailored to their age and developmental needs.
