New ABA Therapy Location in the Community Barn
Beyond Behaviors at Cultivating Hope Farms, is a partnership set to become the first in the state to offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy in a farm setting, creating a unique and enriching environment for children with autism. This innovative approach combines the therapeutic benefits of ABA with the calming and stimulating aspects of nature, allowing children to engage with animals, learn about agriculture, and develop essential life skills in a hands-on way. The farm setting provides an ideal backdrop for fostering communication, social interactions, and sensory experiences, all while promoting a sense of community and belonging. By integrating therapy with the natural world, this program aims to enhance the effectiveness of ABA techniques, supporting children’s growth and development in a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere.
