Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific discipline focused on understanding how human behavior is affected by the environment. It involves analyzing behavior, identifying the factors that influence it (like antecedents and consequences), and applying this knowledge to bring about meaningful changes. ABA therapy teaches new skills and reduces challenging behaviors using positive reinforcement and data-driven strategies in a highly individualized plan.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy work for my child?
A: The process typically begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's current skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific goals, teaching strategies, and data collection methods. Therapists then implement the plan, breaking down skills into small, manageable steps, and using positive reinforcement to encourage learning. Progress is closely monitored and reviewed regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Q3: At what age can my child start ABA Therapy?
A: Children can benefit from ABA Therapy at various developmental stages. We often see children starting between the ages of 2 and 12, but the principles of ABA are applicable to individuals of all ages. The key is to address goals relevant to the individual's current needs and capabilities.
Q4: What can I expect during ABA Therapy sessions?
A: Sessions are tailored to the child's individual plan. They may involve discrete trial training (learning new skills), natural environment teaching (practicing skills during everyday activities), play-based instruction, or focused behavior reduction strategies. The environment can range from a dedicated therapy space to the child's home or school. The focus is always on making learning engaging and effective.
