RESPITE SERVICES
At ABA Day by Day, we understand that caring for a loved one with Autism or other developmental needs is both rewarding and demanding. That’s why, in addition to our Behavioral Health Services, we are proud to offer Respite Services designed to provide caregivers with essential relief—while maintaining a structured, supportive environment rooted in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
Our respite program is more than just a break for families—it’s an opportunity for clients to continue learning, growing, and engaging in meaningful activities with the guidance of trained staff who understand ABA strategies.
What Makes Our Respite Unique?
Unlike traditional respite care, our services at ABA Day by Day integrate ABA-informed practices to promote skill-building, independence, and positive behavior supports. This ensures that individuals not only receive quality supervision but also continue to thrive in environments that encourage communication, social interaction, and adaptive skills.
Caregivers can feel confident knowing their loved ones are supported in ways consistent with their therapeutic goals.

Community-Based Supports: One-on-one assistance in the home or community to help individuals gain independence, improve daily living and social skills, and participate in meaningful activities.
Community Inclusion Services: Group-based educational, recreational, and enrichment activities designed to build skills and enhance community participation (up to six individuals per group).
Interpreter Services: Language and communication support, provided at home or in the community, to help individuals fully engage in activities, services, or employment.
Natural Supports Training: Training and counseling for unpaid caregivers (family, friends, or companions) to ensure they have the skills, tools, and knowledge to safely and confidently support their loved one at home and in the community.
Respite: Short-term care provided at home, in licensed group homes, or approved community settings to give caregivers much-needed relief. Respite can be hourly, daily, overnight, or longer depending on family needs. Through these DDD services, ABA Day by Day helps adults with developmental disabilities build independence, strengthen relationships, and engage more fully in their communities—while giving caregivers peace of mind.
