Focused ABA Therapy for Targeted Behavioral Support

Explore focused ABA therapy at Good Neighbor ABA Therapy Center — 10–20 hours weekly of individualized care for behavior concerns and skill development.

Focused ABA Therapy is designed for children who need support in specific areas such as aggression, tantrums, noncompliance, hygiene, or communication skills. Unlike comprehensive ABA, which spans 30–40 hours weekly, focused ABA offers 10–20 hours per week and targets 2–3 functional goals at a time.

Our clinical team assesses your child’s needs, environment, and development level to design a plan that builds confidence and reduces distressing behaviors. Sessions take place in the child’s natural settings (home, school, or community), and parents are equipped with strategies to reinforce progress.

This service is ideal for families looking to address specific concerns without committing to full-day therapy models. It’s also often used to transition out of more intensive programs or build foundational skills before broader interventions begin.

Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) for Children | Fort Bend County

Learn how Good Neighbor ABA uses Functional Behavior Assessments to uncover why behaviors happen and how to respond effectively.

An FBA is the cornerstone of effective ABA therapy. It is a structured evaluation conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to understand why a child engages in certain behaviors—such as tantrums, elopement, aggression, or withdrawal.

Through direct observation, interviews with caregivers, and data collection, our team identifies what triggers the behavior and what purpose it serves for the child (e.g., escaping tasks, gaining attention, self-soothing). From there, we can create an individualized plan that replaces problem behaviors with healthier alternatives.

FBAs are often used for children who:

  • Are struggling at school with behavioral concerns

  • Have received a new diagnosis (e.g., autism)

  • Need documentation for an IEP or support services

Parents receive a written summary, functional analysis, and recommendations as part of our compassionate, collaborative process.

Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) | ABA-Based Behavior Support

Discover how our team creates individualized Behavior Intervention Plans to reduce challenging behaviors and teach lasting skills.

A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) is an individualized strategy developed from the results of an FBA. It is designed to reduce harmful or disruptive behaviors and teach replacement skills using evidence-based ABA principles.

At Good Neighbor, your child’s BIP is:

  • Data-driven

  • Family-centered

  • Monitored and adjusted weekly by a BCBA

  • Taught by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs)

Each plan includes:

  • Preventive strategies

  • Positive reinforcement systems

  • Teaching methods for new skills

  • Crisis or safety protocols (if needed)

We empower families with simple tools to support consistency across home and school. As progress is tracked, the plan evolves with your child — always aiming for long-term success and emotional well-being.

Social Skills Groups for Children with Autism and Behavioral Needs

Help your child build friendships and emotional awareness through our small group social skills sessions, led by trained behavior therapists.

Our Social Skills Groups provide a supportive, small-group setting where children learn how to interact with peers in age-appropriate and meaningful ways. Each group is guided by a behavior technician under the supervision of a BCBA and focuses on teaching core social behaviors using structured activities, games, and role-playing.

Children practice:

  • Making eye contact

  • Taking turns in conversation

  • Reading social cues

  • Managing frustration

  • Sharing and collaborating

These groups are ideal for children who struggle with making friends, reading emotions, or handling group settings like classrooms or birthday parties. Every group is carefully matched by age and skill level to ensure positive peer modeling and growth.

Social learning happens best with peers, and our groups are a joyful space where progress is celebrated — one smile, handshake, and game at a time.

Parent and Caregiver ABA Training | Support for Families

Empower your family with ABA-based strategies through caregiver training designed to build confidence and promote consistency at home.

At Good Neighbor ABA Therapy Center, we believe that parents are the most powerful teachers in a child’s life. Our Parent & Caregiver Training program is a hands-on, practical resource for families seeking to reinforce ABA strategies at home.

You’ll work directly with your child’s BCBA to learn how to:

  • Respond to challenging behaviors

  • Use positive reinforcement

  • Create structure and routines

  • Manage transitions and meltdowns

  • Track progress and successes

We provide coaching in real time, model strategies, and offer printed resources tailored to your child’s specific treatment goals.

Parent training isn’t just educational — it’s transformational. Families report reduced stress, improved confidence, and stronger bonds with their children as they build consistency between therapy sessions and daily life.

School Readiness ABA Support | Classroom Preparation for Children

Prepare your child for academic success with our ABA-based school readiness programs designed for focus, following directions, and classroom behavior.

Transitioning to school — or thriving once there — can be especially difficult for children with behavioral or developmental challenges. Our School Readiness & Support service prepares children for the routines, rules, and relationships they’ll encounter in the classroom.

We focus on:

  • Sitting for increasing amounts of time

  • Following multi-step instructions

  • Completing work independently

  • Responding to teacher prompts

  • Managing transitions (e.g., recess to class)

  • Participating in group activities

Our therapy mirrors classroom settings, helping children generalize learned behaviors and reduce anxiety around school. When needed, we also collaborate directly with educators and IEP teams to create a bridge between home and school success.

Whether your child is preparing for kindergarten or struggling to meet expectations in elementary school, our team provides compassionate, structured guidance to get them ready — and confident.

Executive Functioning ABA Therapy for Children

Help your child build planning, attention, and memory skills with our ABA-based executive functioning support, tailored for real-life learning.

Executive functioning skills are the foundation for learning, independence, and self-control. These skills include planning, organization, flexible thinking, impulse control, and time management — all essential for academic and daily success.

Our Executive Functioning Support service focuses on:

  • Sustaining attention

  • Completing tasks step by step

  • Managing time and transitions

  • Remembering and applying instructions

  • Solving problems and adapting to changes

Using ABA principles and motivational systems, we teach children how to break down complex tasks, stay on track, and celebrate wins along the way. These skills are introduced gradually and practiced across settings, including home and school.

Whether your child struggles to finish homework or follow through on daily routines, we help develop the tools and confidence they need to become more independent thinkers.

ABA Daily Living Skills Training for Children

Teach your child age-appropriate life skills—such as hygiene, dressing, and chores—through ABA-based daily living training.

Every child deserves the chance to grow in independence. Our Daily Living Skills Training program helps children master practical tasks they need in everyday life, using step-by-step instruction, visual supports, and reinforcement.

Depending on your child’s age and goals, we focus on:

  • Brushing teeth and personal hygiene

  • Dressing and grooming independently

  • Making simple meals or snacks

  • Cleaning up toys or bedrooms

  • Understanding basic money and chores

We meet each child at their current skill level and move at a pace that promotes confidence and consistency. Skills are taught in the home whenever possible, ensuring your child can use them in real-life contexts.

Over time, we shift prompts from adult-led to child-initiated behaviors — always with the goal of nurturing dignity, pride, and self-reliance.

ABA Therapy for Communication Skills Development

Build stronger verbal and non-verbal communication skills for your child through personalized ABA-based language interventions.

Whether your child is completely nonverbal, has delayed speech, or struggles with social language, our Communication Skills Building service can help. We use proven ABA strategies to support expressive and receptive communication.

Goals are tailored to each child’s needs, and may include:

  • Expanding vocabulary

  • Using complete sentences

  • Understanding and following directions

  • Requesting help or objects

  • Making choices using words or visuals

  • Initiating and responding in conversations

We use tools like PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), visual schedules, and prompt fading to empower children to speak, sign, or use AAC devices where needed. Communication is taught in context so children can use it during play, meals, or school transitions.

Strong communication builds confidence, reduces frustration, and strengthens bonds between children and their caregivers.

ABA-Based Academic Support for Children in School

Discover how Good Neighbor ABA Therapy integrates academic support into therapy to improve school success, attention, and task completion.

Many children struggle to keep up with classroom routines—not because of a lack of ability, but because of behavioral or attention-based barriers. Our Academic Support Integration service uses ABA to help children engage more successfully with schoolwork.

This service focuses on:

  • Staying on task during work periods

  • Following teacher instructions

  • Completing homework or assignments

  • Transitioning between subjects or settings

  • Asking for help appropriately

  • Building motivation through token systems or visual rewards

We collaborate with teachers and IEP teams (when applicable) to align therapy goals with academic expectations. Whether at home or in the classroom, we use proven strategies like shaping, prompting, and reinforcement to improve your child’s focus and follow-through.

Academic success doesn’t come from pushing harder—it comes from understanding how your child learns best. We help bridge that gap.

Emotional Regulation Therapy for Children with Autism and Behavior Challenges

Help your child learn to manage big emotions using ABA strategies that teach self-control, flexibility, and coping skills.

When children have difficulty regulating emotions, everyday situations can feel overwhelming. Our Emotional Regulation service teaches children how to understand, express, and manage their feelings in healthy, appropriate ways.

We teach:

  • Identifying feelings using visuals and words

  • Calming strategies like breathing or sensory tools

  • Asking for breaks when overwhelmed

  • Coping with disappointment or unexpected changes

  • Reducing aggression, screaming, or meltdowns

Each strategy is introduced using ABA-based techniques like modeling, role play, and reinforcement. We help your child practice these tools across different settings so that they’re more than just “coping skills”—they become lifelong emotional strengths.

This service is often paired with parent training so families can help children use these skills in daily life, whether at home, school, or the grocery store.

ABA Support for Toilet Training and Feeding Behavior

Help your child gain independence with feeding and toileting using ABA-based routines designed to reduce anxiety and teach lifelong self-care skills.

At Good Neighbor ABA Therapy Center, we understand that eating and toileting are deeply personal and often stressful for both children and their families. Our combined Feeding & Toilet Independence program uses gentle, structured ABA strategies to help children achieve greater autonomy in daily self-care routines.

 

Toilet Independence

For children who are older or delayed in toilet training, we provide a step-by-step plan built on readiness assessments and positive reinforcement. Therapy may include:

  • Establishing routines for daytime and nighttime toileting

  • Teaching how to request bathroom breaks

  • Reducing accidents and diaper use

  • Supporting transitions to public restroom use

  • Using visual supports and schedules

Caregivers receive training to reinforce progress at home, creating consistency and reducing anxiety for the child.

 

Feeding Behavior Intervention

Feeding challenges can range from picky eating to anxiety around mealtimes. Our approach is never forceful — we use ABA-based desensitization, shaping, and positive reinforcement to:

  • Expand food preferences

  • Improve mealtime behavior and attention

  • Teach utensil use and self-feeding

  • Support children with sensory sensitivities

  • Reduce refusal behaviors or stress at meals

Whether your child is struggling with food variety or still learning toileting routines, we walk with your family patiently, celebrating each small win and always respecting your child’s comfort and pace.
