Our Services
Assessment
To identify your child’s strengths, challenges, and preferred learning styles, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will perform an initial assessment and create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will include targeted behavioral strategies and skill-building goals to support your child’s progress and long-term success.
Home-Based Therapy
At-home RAC therapy creates a safe and familiar environment where your child can learn and grow comfortably. The personalized approach helps them build important skills in a setting they know and trust. These skills naturally carry over into other areas of life, allowing your child to thrive in various situations.
In-School Support
At Rural Appalachian Connections, our professionals work closely with your child’s school team to design effective instructional programs grounded in RAC principles. We are dedicated to creating every opportunity for your child’s growth and long-term success.
Parent Education
Families are central to a child’s therapeutic journey. Our team provides meaningful support, empowering parents with practical tools and strategies to effectively respond to their child’s behaviors. We tailor our approach to your family’s lifestyle and dynamics.
Ongoing Consultation
At RAC, your child’s progress is our priority. Our BCBAs continuously collect and analyze data to monitor the effectiveness of each therapeutic intervention. We maintain open, ongoing communication with all involved parties to ensure we’re always working.
