Services

At Leaf & Lake Behavior Support, our 1:1 ABA therapy is personalized, play based, and rooted in compassion. We partner with families to create meaningful, measurable change through individualized care that supports the whole child—not just their behavior. You will see treatment provided in a naturalistic setting, no flashcard drills at a table here! 

Each child works closely Abby, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Sessions are tailored to support skill development in communication, self-regulation, daily living, social interactions, and more. Whether your child is learning to use words, manage big feelings, follow routines, or build independence, we meet them where they are—with empathy and intention. 

Our Approach Includes:

• A comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plan

• Hands-on, goal-driven sessions that reflect your child’s interests

• A trauma-informed, dignity-first model that honors each child’s voice

• Ongoing collaboration with families and caregivers

• Regular data collection and progress updates using electronic data with daily progress insights

• Individualized communication (words, AAC device, PECS book)

We believe in progress through connection—and that every small step forward is worth celebrating.

At Leaf & Lake Behavior Support, we believe caregivers are the most important part of a child’s growth and success. Our parent training services are designed to empower families with practical tools, compassionate guidance, and evidence-based strategies rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

We work side-by-side with caregivers to help build confidence, reduce stress, and support meaningful progress at home and in the community. Whether we’re targeting daily routines, problem behaviors, communication skills, or independence, our goal is to create a plan that fits your values, your family, and your unique child.

What to Expect:

• Collaborative goal setting focused on what matters most to you

• Hands-on coaching, modeling, and support

• Practical strategies that are easy to apply in daily life

• A trauma-informed, compassionate approach: cooperation is earned, never forced

• Ongoing check-ins and adjustments to meet your family’s needs
  
  

We offer parent training as a key part of our ABA therapy programs and as a stand-alone service to support families wherever they are on their journey.

At Leaf & Lake Behavior Support, we extend our expertise beyond the therapy room to support individuals, teams, and organizations through collaborative ABA consultation services. Our goal is to build sustainable systems that promote learning, safety, independence, and dignity across settings.

We partner with schools, daycares, community agencies, residential and care facilities to provide practical, strengths-based strategies rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Whether your team is seeking support with challenging behaviors, staff training, environmental modifications, or program development, we tailor our consultation to your unique needs and values.

Our Consultation Services Include:

• Behavior assessments and functional behavior analysis (FBA)

• Development of individualized behavior support plans

• Staff and caregiver training in proactive, trauma-informed strategies

• Classroom and environment modifications

• Support with IEP goals and data collection systems

• Ongoing collaboration and follow-up to promote long-term success
  
  

We bring a compassionate, whole-person lens to every setting, and we work closely with teams to build capacity and confidence. Together, we can create environments where individuals—and those who care for them—can thrive.

Rates for community consulting vary based on a variety of factors. Please reach out to Abby Amacher directly for further information.
