Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific, evidence-based therapy focused on understanding how behavior is affected by the environment. It involves analyzing a child's behavior, identifying the reasons behind it (the function), and using positive techniques to teach desired skills and reduce challenging behaviors. The goal is always to improve a child's quality of life, communication, social skills, and independence.
Q2: How is ABA therapy personalized for my child?
A: ABA therapy is highly individualized. Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's unique needs, strengths, challenges, interests, and goals. Based on this assessment, our therapists design a customized treatment plan with specific, measurable goals and tailored interventions that are motivating and relevant to your child.
Q3: What does the ABA therapy process involve?
A: The process typically involves several steps: an initial assessment/intake session to gather information and set goals, the development of a personalized treatment plan, ongoing therapy sessions delivered by trained therapists, regular progress monitoring and data collection, reporting and feedback to parents/caregivers, and collaboration with families and other professionals involved in the child's care.
Q4: Is ABA therapy effective?
A: Yes, ABA therapy is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for autism spectrum disorder and many other developmental challenges. Decades of rigorous research support its effectiveness in teaching new skills and reducing problematic behaviors, leading to significant improvements in a child's overall functioning and quality of life.
Q5: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
A: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and progress. Some children may require intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week) for a period, while others may benefit from less intensive programs. Therapy is often ongoing, but the intensity and frequency can be adjusted over time as goals are achieved. We work with you to determine the appropriate schedule based on your child's individual requirements and your family's circumstances.
