Parent Training Spotlight: Assent-Based Therapy at Horizon!

This month during our family support parent training, our families learned about assent-based therapy – the heart of how we provide treatment at Horizon Behavioral Autism Center.

Assent-based approaches prioritize your child’s voice, choice, and voluntary participation every step of the way. Instead of focusing on compliance, we focus on cooperation to build skills through respect, collaboration, and empowerment – creating positive, meaningful experiences that support communication, social growth, independence, and joy.

We’re so grateful for the open discussions and the incredible community we’re building together! 💙

At Horizon, assent isn’t just a buzzword – it’s the foundation of our personalized ABA therapy, parent support, and family partnerships. We’re committed to ethical, evidence-based care that honors every learner’s dignity and autonomy.
Have questions about assent-based therapy or ready to join our no-waitlist services? Message us or call (574) 217-1624 to schedule a tour today!

Did you know social play is one of the most powerful tools for helping children with autism thrive?

Many kids on the spectrum want to connect with others but may need extra support to build those skills. Social play whether its taking turns during games, sharing toys, pretending together, or joining group activities helps in amazing ways.

Social interactions arent just “play time” it’s a foundation for learning, building communication, gaining confidance, and making connections with others.

Structured playdates, peer groups, or therapies like play-based ABA can make a huge difference! 💙

Great Moments in Therapy at Horizon.
Check out this awesome session where our young learner and their RBT are mastering language development, imitation, and following instructions using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

🌟 Exciting progress in language development! 🌟

Check out this sweet moment of a child and therapist working together. Using a simple sound pull tube, the child is practicing imitation and following instructions, key steps in building communication skills. Imitation helps kids mimic sounds and actions, while following instructions strengthens their ability to understand and respond. Love seeing these milestones in action

With ABA, children learn to connect, share, and engage through fun, structured social play. From turn-taking to building friendships, these skills help kids thrive in group settings.

Plus, ABA fosters communication—whether it’s verbal, non-verbal, or using assistive tools—empowering kids to express themselves with confidence!

The best part? ABA is tailored to each child’s unique needs, creating a positive, supportive environment where they can shine. Let’s celebrate the joy of progress and connection!

Today, our team came together to reflect on the ethics of providing ABA therapy. We dove deep into assent-based teaching, prioritizing a learner’s consent over compliance.

Together, we brainstormed ways to empower our learners to practice self-advocacy. Everyone deserves the right to say “no,” “not right now,” or “how about later?”

Our goal is to support our learners in navigating demands with confidence, advocating for what they assent to and feeling safe to withdraw assent when needed. Knowing we are listening to them and supporting them each step of the way!
