Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A1: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on identifying the reasons behind specific behaviors and using positive techniques to increase desired behaviors and reduce challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly individualized, breaking down skills into smaller, manageable steps and using reinforcement strategies to encourage learning and progress. It is widely recognized as an effective treatment for autism spectrum disorder and related developmental challenges.
Q2: How is ABA therapy tailored to my child?
A2: 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 specific needs, strengths, challenges, interests, and goals. Based on this assessment, our team of BCBA therapists develops a highly individualized treatment plan. This plan outlines clear, measurable goals and specific strategies designed to be relevant and motivating for your child, ensuring the therapy is effective and engaging.
Q3: What does the assessment process involve?
A3: Our assessment process typically involves gathering information through interviews with parents and caregivers, direct observation of the child, and standardized assessments. This comprehensive evaluation helps us understand the child's current skill levels, identify target areas for intervention, and collaboratively establish meaningful goals with the family. The assessment is designed to be child-friendly and informative for everyone involved.
Q4: How often are therapy sessions, and how long do they last?
A4: The frequency and duration of therapy sessions are determined based on the individualized treatment plan, in consultation with the supervising BCBA and the family. Sessions can typically range from 1 to 2 hours in length and may be scheduled multiple times per week, depending on the child's needs and goals. We work with families to establish a schedule that is practical and beneficial.
Q5: Who provides the therapy, and what qualifications do they have?
A5: Our therapy services are provided by qualified professionals. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), who have completed advanced training and passed a national certification exam, supervise therapy sessions and develop treatment plans.
