Individualized Behavior Plans 

Chrysalis Academy has a team of dedicated Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA)on-site full time. Our BCBA’s provide each student with individualized attention specific to each student’s behavioral and social needs.   

Experienced Staff 

Our staff are trained in ABA concepts and teaching techniques through

workshops, hands-on training as well as passing a series of written exams.

Teaching is delivered in a 2:1 student to staff ratio as well as in small group and large group instruction. This allows students the opportunity to generalize skills in both small and large group settings.
