School-Based Support

Creating Success Where It Matters Most

For children with autism, the school day can bring both opportunities and challenges. Our school-based support provides the in-the-moment guidance your child needs to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

 

Through collaboration with educators and tailored ASD social skills training, we help children build confidence, focus, and resilience in their school environment. Because we believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and capable at school.

At Go Behavioral, we understand that success in school is about more than just academics. For students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the school environment can present unique challenges in communication, social interaction, behavior regulation, and learning strategies. Our school-based support services are designed to help students with autism thrive across all aspects of the school day.

Comprehensive School-Based ABA Services

Our team partners directly with schools, teachers, and families to provide targeted behavioral support and skills development within the educational setting. Whether through 1:1 support, small group instruction, or collaboration with school staff, we ensure that students receive the assistance they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our School-Based Support Includes:

  • Behavior Intervention and Support

Implementation of behavior intervention plans (BIPs) to reduce challenging behaviors and increase positive, functional behaviors.

Our trained behavior technicians work alongside students during lessons to support focus, participation, and appropriate classroom behaviors.
