Welcome to KidSPOT Jonesboro

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is a  intervention which focuses on teaching new skills; maintaining or increasing appropriate behaviors; helping to generalize skills in different environments; and reducing or eliminating inappropriate or problem behaviors. ABA is actually used to help with more than just an Autism diagnosis. The behavioral interventions used within ABA therapy can be utilized to treat any type of behavioral disorder. 

In association with The Arkansas Autism Partnership (AAP); KidSPOT is able to provide ABA services through the Medicaid waiver program for young children with autism between the ages of 18 months and 8 years.

At KidSPOT, our team of Registered and Licensed Practical Nurses provide on-site care Monday-Friday. Not only do our nurses administer medications, they also work closely with audiology, local pediatrician offices, therapists, families, and are on the front-line for Covid compliance.  In addition, our nursing staff maintains medical documentation, shot verification, medical records, prescriptions, referrals, and all other medical related documentation.  

Over the course of about 30 weeks, trained home visitors work with parents to guide them through a weekly curriculum. Lessons and curricula activities are geared to the child’s age and development level, and the home visitors instruct the parents with easy-to-follow exercises and materials. Parents then spend time each day reading to their children, teaching them numbers, colors, letters, and many more school readiness skills using the tools, techniques, and materials provided by the home visitor.

HIPPY Home-based Educators visit parents of 2, 3, 4, and 5-year-old children, in the home, once a week for at least 45 minutes and role-play lessons. Each set of lessons includes activities focusing on literacy, math, science, motor skills, and language development.

Enrollment for all programs at KidSPOT begins with a telephone call and/or brief meeting with one of our Intake Coordinators who will help determine which program option best fits the needs of your child and family. Once  program options are reviewed, the Intake Coordinator will guide you through our application and placement process. This process is extremely important in our Jonesboro clinic given the various program options that are available. Additionally, our Intake Coordinators can answer all your questions, schedule facility tours, assist with insurance applications, transportation, therapy, and all other aspects of enrollment including state mandated enrollment documentation. 

 High quality child care and early childhood education set the stage for how well our children learn, how they think of themselves and how they interact with their world. We as parents, child care providers, educators and citizens have a responsibility to make sure all of our children have the very best experiences they can. Better Beginnings, Arkansas’s Quality Rating Improvement System, has been developed to do just that!

Better Beginnings distinguishes the quality of each Arkansas child care facility by a 1, 2 and 3-star rating system. KidSPOT has earned a Better Beginnings Rating Scale of 3 stars.
