Clinical Services

Assessment is the first step to identifying the best course of action for your child. Our Psychologists can conduct psycho-educational and diagnostic assessments,
Our behaviour analysts offer functional behavioral assessments and adaptive skill assessments, which will illuminate your child’s strengths and areas of need.
Once we complete the assessment, we support your family through all of the next steps in accessing the appropriate services to meet your child’s needs.

Our Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts offer counseling services for children. Our team is trained in evidence-based strategies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Didactic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), and more.

Our Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention program (EIBI), is impossible to a “strictly ABA” program, as this program incorporates multiple modalities including DIR Floortime, Theraplay, Natural Enviornment Teaching, ESDM and more.
Based on over 50 years of research supporting the efficacy of intensive early intervention, this program is for learners ages 2 - 7 years old, diagnosed with Autism and other developmental delays.
-
Our focused ABA therapy program is for children over the age of 7 who either have skills they need to learn, or challenging behaviors that impact their ability to form or maintain positive relationships with others. Using the evidence-based practice of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we develop individualized treatment plans that build on your child’s strengths to help learn new skills to improve their quality of life and relationships.

We love nothing more than supporting parents in finding their way through the challenges presented by every day behavior management and…life in general! We use a systematic and evidence-based approach to helping parents learn new (practical!) skills to help transform their relationship with their kids, and in turn…change behavior!
Educational Services
-
Our licensed teachers offer tutoring in a small group setting, with no more than 6 students per group. Learners in our tutoring groups are those who meet criteria for special education needs (SEN) and require individualised instruction tailored to their specific learning style.
The group learning format is designed to promote learning in an environment similar to a classroom setting, as our ultimate goal is to promote inclusion and develop foundational skills that will promote success in school.
-
School shadowing is available for students that are in a mainstream school setting, and could benefit from additional support from a Cayman ABA trained School Inclusion Shadow. Our Shadows are trained in Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) and Social Shadowing, & are supervised by BCBAs.
Through regular consulting with teachers, our skilled shadows will help modify classwork, give the teacher tools to be successful and encourage your child. Shadowing is meant to build independence by supporting your child only as long as they need us. We will use strategic fading techniques and only step in when needed.

Why Choose Cayman ABA?
We’re Accredited
Cayman ABA is the only accredited ABA provider in the entire Caribbean Region!
We initially earned accreditation in our first year of operation (2018), and then were re-accredited for a three-year period (the longest accreditation possible to earn), in June 2020.
Accreditation sets apart quality service providers from “just anyone” and gives families the ability to have confidence in our program. Not all ABA programs are created equal. In a field that has such a range of applications and methods, we are proud of our accreditation because it highlights our high standards!
We’re Qualified
One of the marks of our accreditation as a Behavioral Health Centre of Excellence is credentialing within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. All members of our ABA Therapy team posses certifications from the Behavior Analysis Certification Board ranging from Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT).
We’re Multidisciplinary
At Cayman ABA, we view collaboration with other professions as an essential component to our services, and our multidisciplinary team works together to address the full range of a child's developmental needs. We believe that the best approach is one that incorporates professional collaboration from multiple relevant disciplines.
Incorporating expertise from other disciplines into our approach, including Clinical Psychology, enables our children to make measurable gains in all areas of development.
We've got SKILLS®
Skills® is a tool developed by the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, designed to aide in the development of comprehensive, individualized plans for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). At Cayman ABA, we focus on teaching the full range of socially significant behaviors for a child, and the Skills® curriculum supports us to incorporate research-based lessons into our teaching programs.
We Track Progress
We take the guesswork out of your child's program, by measuring, tracking and continually analyzing data as we progress towards goals.
You'll never wonder what your child is working on at Cayman ABA, or if they're making progress; parents have access to their child's cloud-based curriculum at all times, so you can be up-to-date and informed throughout your child's journey.
