Ivy ABA is now open in the Grassfield area of Chesapeake, Virginia. Located at 502 Bud Drive, near Cahoon Commons, this center offers top-tier care for children with Autism. This addition strengthens Ivy Rehab’s commitment to serving the community, joining the nearly 100 Ivy Rehab locations across Virginia, including Ivy Rehab for Kids and Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy.
Ivy ABA supports children and their families to learn new skills and techniques using the most effective therapy for Autism. They aim to work on what’s most important to the child and their support system by creating an individualized pediatric treatment program tailored to their needs. Whether it’s working on communication, social skills, aggression, non-compliance, self-help skills, play, academics, or fine or gross motor skills, the team always addresses specific concerns for each individual. They focus on increasing the child’s skills while decreasing undesirable behaviors.
