Our Approach to ABA
We have deliberately decided to approach ABA in a way that utilizes activities that bring your child enjoyment. We want them to have fun!!! Our approach to ABA is play-based, developmental and incorporates parent partnership for optimal outcomes. Intervention Programs are based in the scientifically validated principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to ensure high quality, individualized, client focused services.
We start by learning all we can about your child, family matters, how we can make them smile, motivations, what excites them to learn, and what does the opposite. We then take this information and create a custom learning program that is most likely to support rapid acquisition of new skills and reduce challenging behaviors.
Our customized ABA programs are as simple as A-B-C.
Programs are delivered through the application of behavior analytic principles, including identification and modification of the Antecedents (A) preceding a behavior, and the Consequences (C) following a behavior, to affect change in the Behavior (B).
It is important to understand that Behavior refers to the whole range of measurable activities while Behavior Analysis is the science utilized when attempting to identify, explain, and predict behavior. Behavior analysis includes observations of the environment in which a behavior occurs, and describes factors associated with a behavior, including what factors are present prior to (antecedents) and following (consequences) a behavior.
Simply stated, preferred consequences (or “reinforcers”) are used to increase new, appropriate skills, such as communication and language, social skills, and self-care, while no reinforcement is given for the occurrence of inappropriate behaviors, thereby reducing their frequency in the future. Our comprehensive ABA plans address all the component areas: antecedent, behavior, and consequence.
