Two groups, matched to your child
Starting preschool, kindergarten, or first grade is a huge milestone — and a smoother one when your child has practiced first. Our School Readiness Program blends one-on-one teaching with real peer interaction in a safe, encouraging environment, so those first classroom days are a success.
Caterpillar Crew
For children building early communication and social skills who do best with more individualized support as they learn to follow a visual schedule and manage transitions.
Blooming Butterflies
For children already showing interest in peers and ready to learn in a more group-based setting, with one-on-one focus added as clinically recommended.
Skills that carry into the classroom
- Communication — vocal and non-vocal.
- Social and play skills with peers.
- Following routines, visual schedules, and managing transitions.
- Adaptive living skills like toileting, dressing, and feeding.
- Emotional regulation and reducing challenging behaviors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this program only for children with autism?
No. The School Readiness Program is designed for both neurodivergent and neurotypical children — especially kids who thrive with structured, play-based learning and individualized attention as they prepare for school.
How are children placed into a group?
Placement is based on a developmental assessment so the setting always matches your child’s needs — whether that’s the more individualized Caterpillar Crew or the more group-based Blooming Butterflies.
Do you take insurance?
Yes. Rising Above ABA is in-network with MassHealth and most major commercial insurers in Massachusetts. Our intake team will verify your benefits and walk you through any out-of-pocket costs before you start — no surprises.
How long is the waitlist?
Most families wait far less with us than the three-month waitlists common across Massachusetts. Our goal is to move you from first contact to your child’s first session in about six weeks.
