After observing your child and assessing their behavior, a friendly BCBA will develop a customized plan for your child’s development.
Your child practices positive behaviors through fun home therapy sessions and learns to apply them in other real-life situations.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability which affects the way people communicate and interact with people and the world around them.
There are many benefits of ABA therapy, including improved communication skills, social skills, independent living, reduced maladaptive behaviors, and better life satisfaction for children and their families.
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, helps us understand the triggers of different behaviors. Our BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts) observe and analyze your child’s current habits and work with them to minimize negative actions and reinforce positive ones.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a treatment approach that focuses on modifying behavior. It is commonly used to help individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) develop new skills, reduce problematic behaviors and improve social interactions. ABA therapy is based on the principles of behaviorism, which suggest that all behavior is learned and can be modified through positive reinforcement.
The goal of ABA therapy is to increase desirable behaviors and decrease problematic behaviors. This is achieved through a process of observation, measurement, and analysis of behavior. The therapist will first observe the individual to identify specific behaviors that need to be modified. They will then measure the frequency and intensity of these behaviors to establish a baseline.
Once the baseline is established, the therapist will develop a treatment plan that includes specific goals and objectives. The treatment plan will be tailored to the individual's needs and may include a variety of techniques such as positive reinforcement, prompting, shaping, and fading.
Positive reinforcement is a technique that involves rewarding desirable behaviors. This can include praise, tokens, or other incentives. Prompting involves providing cues or hints to help the individual learn new skills. Shaping involves breaking down complex behaviors into smaller, more manageable steps. Fading involves gradually reducing the amount of support provided as the individual becomes more proficient.
ABA therapy is typically conducted in a one-on-one setting with a trained therapist. The therapist will work with the individual to teach new skills and reinforce positive behaviors. The therapy sessions may be conducted in a variety of settings, including the home, school, or clinic.
Overall, ABA therapy is a highly effective treatment approach for individuals with ASD. It has been shown to improve communication, social skills, and academic performance. With its focus on positive reinforcement and individualized treatment plans, ABA therapy offers a promising path forward for individuals with ASD and their families.
