Full Day Immersive Learning
The only CABAS accredited learning center in the Gulf South
Our full-day, immersive ABA programs create a rich learning environment where skills are taught, practiced, and generalized in real time, giving children the intensity and continuity they need to make lasting gains. While many providers offer limited hourly sessions, BIG's comprehensive full-day ABA programs create the intensive, consistent environment children with autism need to make meaningful, lasting progress across all areas of development.

The Power of Full-Day Learning
ABA therapy at BIG focuses on developing:
Foundational learning skills such as attending and imitation
Daily living skills from self-care, routines, and independence
Communication skills from first words to full conversations
Social connections learning how to play, share, and build friendships
Emotional regulation managing frustration and building coping strategies
Cognitive and academic readiness laying the foundation for future learning
Social engagement through outdoor play, where children connect, collaborate, and make friends in an active environment.
Indoor playroom with activities designed to promote social engagement like a bounce house, a train and sensory table.
Our full-day programs run Monday through Friday, year-round, providing 25+ hours per week of intensive behavioral intervention. Unlike traditional therapy that occurs in isolated sessions, our programs integrate learning opportunities throughout the day in naturalistic classroom settings.
ABA therapy at BIG focuses on developing:
Skill generalization across different activities and settings
Natural learning opportunities that occur throughout the day
Consistent reinforcement of learned behaviors
Peer interaction with typically developing children
Real-world practice of newly acquired skills
Reduced need for skill re-teaching due to consistent application
The research is clear: intensive, compassionate, comprehensive programming produces better outcomes than limited hourly sessions. Children make faster, more meaningful progress when intervention is woven throughout their day.
Our Classroom-Based Approach
What sets BIG apart is our unique classroom environment that maintains a 1:1 child-to-therapist ratio while encouraging group learning and collaboration. Our full-day programs aren’t just extended therapy sessions—they’re comprehensive educational experiences, carefully designed to prepare children for successful integration into traditional school settings.
As children progress through our programs, their learning environments gradually transition to look more like typical classrooms, preparing them for successful integration into kindergarten and beyond.This systematic approach to school preparation is unique among ABA providers in our area.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand choosing the right support for your child is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Here are some answers to help guide your journey.
At BIG, all children learn alongside peers in a classroom environment with daily opportunities for play, communication, and social interaction — whether in the classroom, bounce house, lunch table, or playground. When a child needs support engaging independently, their line technician will facilitate as appropriate. BIG's unique Peer Model Program takes this a step further by strategically placing typically developing 3–4 year olds alongside children diagnosed with autism or other developmental disorders. In this inclusive Pre-K classroom, peer models naturally exemplify social and communication skills while fostering comfort and positive behavior. Overseen by a BCBA and taught by experienced registered line technicians, this program creates an extraordinary learning environment that benefits every child.
Each child has a dedicated line technician, while BCBAs oversee small teams to ensure consistency, support and training.
We collect session-by-session data on each objective. The trends are analyzed following each session and adjustments are made as necessary.
Unlike general early childhood settings, BIG's full-day program targets specific skills through one-on-one ABA instruction using research-proven methods. We complement individualized teaching with structured group activities, peer models, visual schedules, and research-backed teaching stations — gradually blending one-on-one learning into more traditional classroom routines to build social, pre-academic, and independence skills.
Our full-day model uses breaks, play periods, and group work to keep energy high. We build endurance gradually. Children adapt quickly when lessons feel fun and varied.
Each classroom is different. Depending on the classroom, they typically start in 1:1 sessions or group instruction. Mid-day includes play time and lunch. The 1:1 session or group instruction resumes in the afternoon. Children typically have morning and afternoon recess on the playground.
Line technicians implement daily lessons under the direction of BCBA/BCaBAs who maintain low caseloads to monitor each child’s progress closely.
