What Daycare therapy looks like

Every child is different, but all children can grow. Our ABA therapy programs are designed to address your child’s unique strengths and challenges. Some of the core areas we focus on include:

During circle time:

Practicing sitting with the group, following directions, taking turns, and participating in activities.

During play:

Learning to share toys, ask peers to play, engage in pretend play, and navigate social situations.

During meals & snacks:

Building communication skills, requesting items, making choices, using utensils, and practicing mealtime routines.

During transitions:

Managing changes between activities, following schedules, and handling unexpected situations calmly.

During outdoor play:

Developing gross motor skills, playing cooperatively, taking turns on equipment, and building peer relationships.

Common questions about Daycare ABA

  • Does the daycare need to approve this?

    Yes, we coordinate with your child's daycare center to schedule therapy sessions and ensure our therapist can work with your child during the day.

  • How many hours per week?

    Depends on your child's treatment plan and insurance authorization. Typical plans range from 10 to 25 hours weekly.

  • Will this disrupt my child's routine?

    No. Therapy happens during activities your child is already doing—play, snack, circle time, outdoor time.

  • What if my child changes daycares?

    Our therapy can move with your child to their new daycare setting.

  • Do you work with all daycares?

    We work with most daycare centers across Texas. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

  • How is this different from in-home therapy?

    Daycare-based therapy allows your child to practice skills with peers in a group setting, which is especially valuable for social and communication goals.

  • Will the daycare staff be involved?

    Yes. We train daycare staff on your child's goals and strategies so they can support progress throughout the day.

  • Does insurance cover this?

    Most major insurance plans cover ABA therapy provided at daycare just like other settings.

Progress and fun shouldn’t be a contradiction

With Steady Strides Daycare ABA therapy, your child can have both.
