School-Based ABA Therapy
in Southern Louisiana
With the right support and therapy, school becomes more than a place to learn—it becomes a place to build resilience, connection, and confidence, one small, brave step at a time.
Mercy's in-school ABA therapy is designed to build resilience, independence, and the confidence to step fully into who they are meant to be.
School-based ABA isn’t about making kids fit into a mold—it’s about meeting them where they are and helping them thrive in the real world of the classroom.
It’s about giving them the tools to raise their hand with confidence, to connect with classmates, and to face challenges. It’s where growth happens in the small moments—holding focus a little longer, navigating a social interaction with more ease, finding the courage to try again after frustration.
Mercy Autism Center is pleased to offer school-based services as part of our ABA (applied behavior analysis) program. School-based therapy involves providing support and treatment for your child within the school setting, alongside their peers and in collaboration with the school team.
By incorporating ABA into the school environment, we aim to create a less restrictive and inclusive experience for your child. This means they can participate in classroom activities and interact with their peers while receiving the necessary support to effectively engage in classroom-based instruction. The school-based approach allows for a more seamless integration of therapy into your child’s daily school routine.
One significant advantage of school-based ABA is the focus on generalization of skills. After mastering skills in a home or center-based setting, the school environment provides an ideal opportunity to apply those skills in a different context. This helps your child transfer and generalize their learned skills to a real-world setting, improving their independence and functioning.
In the school environment, our ABA program targets pivotal skills crucial for your child’s success in the classroom. This includes developing the ability to participate in classroom activities effectively, engage with teachers and classmates, and sustain attention for longer periods. By addressing these pivotal skills, we empower your child to actively participate in their educational journey and make meaningful progress.
We understand the importance of collaboration and communication with the school team. In many cases, our school-based ABA program works alongside the school staff and consults with teachers to ensure consistency and maximize the effectiveness of the interventions.
However, it’s important to note that some school districts or parishes may have specific policies regarding outside providers on their campuses, and we adapt accordingly while providing support to the best of our abilities.
At Mercy Autism Center, our priority is to support your child’s educational experience and facilitate their overall development within the school environment. We work closely with the school team and educators to create a comprehensive and cohesive approach that benefits your child’s progress.
