Applied Behavioral Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence based intervention applying the principles of learning and motivation to improve the outcome of learners displaying social, speech and behavior challenges. At Imagine Academy, our students receive this therapy through a variety of contexts, and functional programs. Using a variety of assessment tools, each students’ programs are created and individualized based on these results. In addition, our program provides natural environmental interventions as well as social curriculum to support the individual learning styles of our focused learners.
At Imagine Academy our staff have been trained in Safety-Care Behavioral Safety Training, a leading crisis prevention training course focusing on how to prevent behavioral challenges, de-escalate early and manage behaviors safely. The curriculum is founded upon evidence-based research in the areas of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) which we believe offers our staff and those we serve with the best strategies available. Safety-Care is consistent with our goal to maintain a comfortable, safe and learning environment and it meets or exceeds the accreditation standards outlined by CARF, JCAHO, COA and other agencies concerned with quality care. If you have additional questions regarding Safety-Care and its implementation, don’t hesitate to ask.

Hear From Our Parents
Imagine has developed a uniquely integrative approach that combines creatively what are usually seen as the two leading competing methods Applied Behavioral Therapy and DIR/Floortime. Imagine offers the very best in Speech, Occupational and Music Therapy. The various components work beautifully together so that the whole is even greater than the sum of its individually excellent parts.”
“…They work together to understand our children’s learning style and needs, they have no agenda other than helping the kids learn and grow. Everyone shows competence and care that goes beyond the school day to give families the support needed at home and with everyday issues or emergencies.”
Imagine Academy has been a gift to my son and my entire family. Having been one of the first students enrolled in the school when it opened 14 years ago, Philip has grown up with the love, devotion and respect from the entire Imagine staff. Year after year, the focus has always been on giving him so many opportunities to become the best person that he was meant to be. We will forever be grateful to this school.
