Scott attends his local public high school during the day. After school, he receives 20 hours per week of ABA therapy. Scott’s therapists meet him at home to target academic skills, daily living skills, and vocational skills.

Scott and his therapist spend time completing homework and reviewing challenging school lessons. Scott works on daily living skills including following a recipe to prepare a meal, using Google Calendar to plan his week, and grooming including showering, shaving, cutting his nails, and choosing outfits appropriate for the weather.

Once a week his ABA therapist helps him create a shopping list and go to the store to make purchases. Twice a week Scott works at a veterinarian’s office greeting patients, tracking inventory, and stocking shelves. Scott’s therapist serves as a job coach in this setting; however, as Scott has become more independent, support at work has been faded.

Scott enjoys playing video games, posting on social media, and going out with friends on the weekend. He is looking forward to attending community college and hopes to become a vet tech when he graduates.
