Behavioral Assessment & Intervention

At Empower Autism Omaha, we start every ABA therapy plan with a detailed behavioral assessment to understand your child’s unique needs, strengths, and challenges. Our goal is to identify the underlying factors influencing behavior and develop a customized intervention strategy that fosters long-term success.

Our Assessment Process Includes:

  • Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA): A data-driven evaluation to identify the root causes of challenging behaviors, including triggers and environmental influences.
  • Individualized Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP): A personalized, evidence-based strategy designed to reduce problem behaviors while teaching positive, adaptive skills for better communication, social interactions, and daily life success.

By combining in-depth assessments with collaborative, family-centered support, we create effective, research-backed treatment plans that empower children with ASD to reach their full potential.

    Skill Development Programs for Children with Autism

    At Empower Autism Omaha, we focus on helping children build essential skills that promote independence, confidence, and a better quality of life. Our skill development programs are tailored to each child’s unique needs, ensuring they gain practical abilities for daily life, social interactions, and communication.

    Our Skill-Building Programs Include:

    • Communication Skills: Teaching verbal, non-verbal, and assistive communication methods (such as speech devices or picture-based systems) to help children express their thoughts, needs, and emotions effectively.
    • Social Skills Training: Encouraging positive interactions with peers, family members, and within the community through structured learning and real-life practice.
    • Life Skills Development: Strengthening daily living skills such as personal hygiene, self-care, meal preparation, and household tasks to enhance independence.

    By integrating evidence-based strategies with hands-on learning, we empower children to navigate their world with confidence.

      Parent Training and Support

      At Empower Autism Omaha, we believe that parents and caregivers play a crucial role in their child’s success. Our parent training programs provide the guidance, tools, and support needed to help you create a structured and supportive environment at home.

      Our Parent Training Helps You:

      • Implement Behavior Strategies at Home: Learn effective techniques to reinforce positive behaviors and manage challenging ones in daily routines.
      • Create Consistency: Establish structured approaches to support your child’s progress across different settings, including home, school, and social environments.
      • Gain Confidence in Daily Challenges: Develop practical skills to navigate everyday situations with greater ease and understanding.
