ABA Services
Our BCBAs and ABA therapists use developmentally appropriate, evidence based teaching methods based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to improve the communication, academic, behavioral, social, self-help, and play skills of the children with whom we work. We view the diagnosis of autism as a combination of behavioral excesses and behavioral deficits in comparison to typical development.The topography of the behaviors is often similar to those of typically developing individuals. The difference, however, occurs in the frequency and intensity in which the behaviors occur.
What is ABA
In ABA the concept is simple; We systematically break down learning into its smallest parts and teach it to the child piece by piece. In effect, we teach the child how to learn. The more skills a child begins to acquire the better they become at learning new skills. Reinforcers, such as praise, edibles, and toys, are used to motivate the child, and progress is continuously measured so the teaching program can be adjusted as needed.
Why is ABA effective
There are a number of autism symptoms that make it very difficult for children diagnosed with an ASD to learn from their everyday environment in thesamemanner as typical developing children. ABA, however, helps overcome these challenges by providing teaching tools that focus on simplified instructional steps and consistent reinforcement. A list of common autism symptoms that make learning difficult along with a description of how ABA therapy addresses each one is provided here
