Home & Community Based Services
Our Service
This was the first service we offered at Blue Stars Therapy and continues to be our favorite and arguably the most crucial to the therapeutic process. As part of our ESDM services, our therapists will collaborate with you daily to provide therapy in the most natural environment. Many routines within your child's typical day can serve as development enhancing opportunities, which increases the number of learning opportunities throughout the day and promotes more functional application of skills. Home-based services provide opportunities for caregivers to be involved in the sessions by observing the therapy and learning interventions, which they can carry out when the therapists are not present
Our team is dedicated to adapting therapy to meet your family's lifestyle. There is no pressure to hurry up and feed or dress your child before therapy. We can help with this, and show you how much learning happens in these routines. Don't' cancel your plans for therapy! Let us support you in the community through challenging errands or outings, such as navigating the grocery store or playdates at the park or library.
ESDM/ABA Evaluations
A comprehensive evaluation using the Early Start Denver Model Curriculum Checklist to help identify your child’s strengths and areas of focus. This directly informs our intervention as we prepare for treatment planning and services recommendations. The evaluation is conducted by trained Early Start Denver Model therapists. The evaluation will consist of direct testing/observation and a parent report, lasting 1 hour-1.5 hours. Parents will be provided with a comprehensive written assessment of skills, treatment plan and goals as well as service recommendations.
