Friend Leaves Services for ABA Providers
Supporting ABA Therapy Through Nature-Based Wellness
Friend Leaves offers therapeutic horticulture experiences that complement the structured, skill-based approach of ABA therapy. Our programs provide children with natural, sensory-rich environments where they can practice and generalize the skills they build in one-on-one sessions.
🌿 Group Sessions
Hands-on, plant-based activities designed for small groups.
- Social Skills: Collaborative planting encourages turn-taking, communication, and teamwork.
- Sensory Engagement: Children explore textures, scents, and colors in a calming, structured way.
- Emotional Regulation: Plant-care routines paired with mindfulness help reduce stress and support focus.
Sample Activities: Terrarium building, pressed flower mandalas, herbal sachets.
🌱 Individual Sessions
Personalized horticulture activities tailored to a child’s goals.
- Skill Reinforcement: Sequencing steps, following directions, fine motor practice.
- Calming Routines: Using plant care as a grounding activity during transitions or stress.
