Your child deserves real friendships. Our Beyond the Bell program gives them the tools and the practice to build them. We provide structured sessions designed for children ages 5 and up – individualized goals, practiced in real peer interactions with BCBA oversight. We teach:
Maybe your child stands at the edge of the playground, watching the other kids play but not joining in. Maybe they came home from a birthday party without talking to anyone, even though you know they wanted to. Maybe they’ve told you they don’t have any friends- and you felt the weight of those words long after bedtime.
Social challenges are one of the most common concerns parents of autistic children bring to us. And one of the most important things we can tell you is this: social skills can be taught. They are not a fixed trait. They are a set of learnable tools – and applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is the most evidence-backed way to teach them.
Beyond the Bell was built specifically for this. Not as a supplement. As a solution.
“It has been exciting to watch our clients progress in such a short period of time. This is such a fun and engaging program – I am looking forward to all the skills and friendships that will result from it.”
Molly Adams, Vice President of Clinical Compliance, Behavioral Innovations
Every child is different. These are some of the patterns families tell us they noticed before enrolling – broken down by age.
If you notice any of the above symptoms in your child, they might benefit from social skills training. Submit a short form to speak with an intake advocate about enrollment.
Progress in Beyond the Bell looks different for every child – but it’s always specific and observable. Not “doing better socially.” More like this:
We know you’re already doing a lot. Our parent involvement is designed to work with your schedule, not add to your load. Regular check-ins with your child’s BCBA give you concrete, practical strategies to reinforce what your child is learning at home so the skills they build in our center carry into every part of their life.
We’ve seen it clearly: children make faster, more lasting progress when their families are part of the process. That’s not a burden, it’s a partnership.
