Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how human behavior is learned. It focuses on the relationship between a behavior and the environment that surrounds it. ABA therapy uses positive techniques to increase desirable behaviors and decrease problematic ones. It's based on the principle that behavior changes can be achieved through reinforcement and shaping. Here on the Spectrum uses ABA to help individuals develop new skills (like communication, social interaction, academics) and improve overall quality of life.
Q2: How is ABA therapy customized for my child?
Every child is unique, and so is their therapy plan. At Here on the Spectrum, we begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's strengths, challenges, interests, and goals. Based on this assessment, our therapists create a highly individualized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific, measurable goals and the strategies used to teach new skills or modify existing behaviors. The plan is reviewed and adjusted regularly in collaboration with you, ensuring it remains relevant and effective for your child's progress.
Q3: What can I expect during an ABA therapy session?
ABA therapy sessions are tailored to the specific plan developed for your child. They typically involve one-on-one interaction between your child and a trained therapist in a structured environment. Sessions might include teaching specific skills using techniques like discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, or pivotal response training. Therapists use positive reinforcement (like praise, tokens, or preferred activities) to encourage desired responses. Sessions are designed to be engaging and fun, focusing on breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps.
Q4: Are the therapists qualified?
Absolutely. The therapists at Here on the Spectrum are highly qualified professionals, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). BCBAs are experts in ABA therapy who supervise treatment plans, conduct assessments, and ensure the highest quality of care. RBTs implement the direct therapy techniques under the close supervision of the BCBAs. All therapists undergo rigorous training and adhere to ethical standards to provide safe, effective, and compassionate care.
