Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy
"It takes a special person to hear what a child cannot say"
What is ABA? Simply put, it's reinforcement for positive behaviors, consequence for negative behaviors, prompting to help you doing it by yourself, and systematics so you don't get stuck! Agape Consulting's ABA Direct Therapy Program provides one to one in home, community and clinic based direct ABA therapy to Children and Adults with ASD and developmental Delays from as early as 2 years old. We use a strong staff of Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Associate Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) as well as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT), to provide quality therapy programs that are tailored to fit the client's needs.
With our services, we provide program coordinating, assessments, attending Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings and teacher consultations. In addition, to arm our parents with tools to continue work while we aren't there, we also provide comprehensive parent training in home, or at our center.

Homeschooling Program
"Homeschooling allows you the freedom to step off the highway of learning and take a more scenic route along a dirt road "
Starting this Fall, Agape Consulting is proud to now offer a Homeschooling Program! Continuing with our organizational mission to provide quality programs to families of children with developmental delays, we are offering a Kindergarten class to begin on September 8th, 2021. If the current world pandemic has taught us anything, it's that everyone learns differently. We've seen children strive during these times by changing the way they learn in ways that cater towards their specific needs, instead of them catering towards everyone else.
Our homeschooling program allows us to apply ABA principles in the class room setting. The program will also allow your child to receive services within the day such as ABA and Speech Therapies. We will also integrate with social skills class throughout the day to further develop their skills.
The benefit of homeschooling your child with developmental delays, is tremendous. As a parent, you'll know that he/she will be getting what they need when they need it. This is why we feel that Homeschooling catered towards your child's needs will be a valuable tool to help shape your child's future. It is Agape Consulting's goal to provide a thorough treatment to all of our clients by combining efforts through all of our programs such as ABA Therapy, Social Skills, Homeschooling and soon Speech Therapy. For more information and to register your child, please contact us and fill out the inquiry.
First Day of school is September 9th. The program will be ran Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to 2:30PM and will follow the Norfolk Unified School District 2021/2022 School Year Calendar. We currently have a kindergarten class that will be lead by a Kindergarten Teacher who also happens to be an Registered Behavior Technician. The goal will be to expand this program from preschool through 12th grade.

Coming soon, Agape Consulting will be offering Pediatric Speech-Language Therapy using Certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). Often referred to as a Speech Therapist, SLP's work to help children communicate effectively by assisting with the improvement of their verbal and non-verbal language skills.

Agape Consulting provides training services that aims to educate the community on basic ABA Principles. Our trainings equip participants with tools needed to interact with and facilitate children in any environment. We strive to make learning opportunities as natural as possible for educators and volunteer of children with disabilities. We also strive to make the programs affordable for all.
Our goal is to fill the void within the community that lack training opportunities for daycare providers and religious communities who service children from all backgrounds and abilities. Agape consulting has created training programs geared towards equipping the volunteers and teachers with ABA techniques to handle children with disabilities. Parents are often reluctant that these facilities can adequately care for their children. They often resort to leaving them with friends and family for care, or just keeping them at home all together. It is Agape Consulting’s hope to provide an affordable training program using ABA principles to give each facility the tools to effectively teach these children how to learn interact with their peers and with society as a whole.
