Navigating support systems for children with autism can feel overwhelming for many families especially when legal challenges with the NYC Department of Education (DOE) come into play. That’s where Achievement Behavior Services (ABS) steps in. ABS isn’t just an ABA provider, we’re your partner in advocating for the right support your child deserves. Our expansion into DOE-related services allows families to access expert ABA therapy during one of the most critical times in their educational journey.
What Is DOE Support for Children?
When children with autism or developmental delays face legal disputes regarding their education through the DOE, it can delay the services they need. DOE support refers to specialized programs and interventions such as ABA therapy that are made available through agreements with the Department of Education, often guided by litigation or settlement.
Achievement Behavior Services works alongside attorneys and families to provide these services with compassion, precision, and experience. Our goal is to ensure no child is left behind due to system delays or educational gaps.
Why Is ABA Therapy So Important in DOE Cases?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a proven method to help children build communication, social, and adaptive living skills. When incorporated into DOE programs, ABA offers:
- Individualized interventions based on each child’s unique strengths and needs
- Functional behavior assessments to understand challenges and provide targeted solutions
- Support in both educational and home settings for generalization of skills
- BCBA-led sessions ensuring high-quality, data-driven care
This is especially vital during litigation periods when educational consistency is disrupted. With ABS, families know their children are still receiving top-tier, structured therapy during critical developmental stages.
