Family Support and Guidance

At Lifetree, we know that families play the biggest role in a child’s growth. That’s why we offer Family Support and Guidance sessions with your child’s ABA supervisor. These meetings give you the chance to review your child’s progress, learn strategies to manage challenging behaviors, and practice ways to teach new skills at home. Our goal is to empower families with the tools and confidence to support their child every day.

Social Skills Group

Our after-school Social Skills Groups give children the chance to learn and practice important social, communication, and friendship skills in a fun, supportive setting. Led by experienced ABA professionals, these small groups focus on teamwork, conversation, sharing, and problem-solving—skills kids can use at school, at home, and in the community.

Behavior and Skills Assessment

Before starting therapy, we complete a comprehensive Behavior and Skills Assessment to understand your child’s strengths and areas for growth. This helps us identify challenging behaviors, learning needs, and everyday skills to work on. The results guide us in creating a personalized ABA program designed to support your child’s success at home, school, and in the community.
