What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a way to help people learn new skills and improve behaviors that are important in everyday life. It focuses on understanding why behaviors happen and using positive strategies to encourage helpful actions while reducing ones that may cause challenges. It's all about creating personalized plans that support growth, independence, and confidence in a fun and meaningful way!
Is ABA Therapy Only for Autism?
ABA therapy is for anyone who engages in behavior—in other words, everyone! While it's commonly associated with supporting individuals with autism (mainly because insurance often covers it for that population), ABA therapy is a versatile approach that can benefit anyone looking to understand, change, or improve their behavior. It’s all about creating positive, meaningful changes that help individuals thrive.
How Does ABA Therapy Work?
ABA therapy begins with a BCBA collaborating closely with you and your family to understand your unique needs and goals through detailed assessments. These assessments provide valuable insights to guide the development of a personalized treatment plan. Using evidence-based programs such as VB-MAPP, AFLS, and PEAK, we focus on increasing helpful behaviors, reducing challenging ones, and building new skills. The BCBA carefully selects the most appropriate program based on the treatment plan goals, ensuring everything is customized to support your progress. Together, we’ll create meaningful changes that truly align with your needs!
