Emergent Learning Centers is proud to announce the opening of its newest location in Collinsville, Illinois, and it is unlike any center we have opened before. Housed inside the Hollywood Heights school building in the Collinsville school district, our Collinsville center brings applied behavior analysis directly into the environment where so many children need it most: a real school. Rather than practicing school readiness in a clinic and hoping it carries over, children at our Collinsville location learn and rehearse the skills of a typical school day in after-school hours inside an actual school setting, sitting at real desks, moving through real hallways, transitioning between real classrooms, and playing on a real playground, all with the one-on-one support of our trained behavior technicians and the oversight of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts. It is the only center of its kind within the Emergent family, and it was designed specifically for children who are enrolled in school but struggling to find success there, whether that means difficulty with transitions, group instruction, following classroom routines, managing recess and unstructured time, or simply making it through the day without the behaviors that get in the way of learning and friendships. Enrollment is open now, and we welcome families throughout the Metro East to schedule a tour and see for themselves what ABA in a school with our clinical care can look like when the right support is in place.
