ABA is the most frequently recommended option for the treatment of ASD. It’s the therapy most supported by reputable sources, including The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S. Surgeon General, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The "gold standard" in behavior treatment
In our assent-based ABA Program, we start with a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) meeting with you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.
This includes a Behavior Identification Assessment to identify specific behaviors and their functions, which is crucial for developing targeted and effective intervention strategies.
Following this assessment, you'll collaborate with your BCBA to develop and review a Treatment Plan. This ensures that the plan reflects your goals and is tailored to your unique needs.
Once the plan is in place, a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) will begin working with your family. They will observe and record behavioral data, which will assist the BCBA in refining and adjusting the program to ensure it effectively addresses the identified behaviors and meets your objectives.
OUR INDIVIDUALIZED BEHAVIOR PROGRAM has been designed WITH RESPECT TO OUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THERE IS NO "ONE-SIZE FITS ALL" TREATMENT PROGRAM.
Consistency is key in reaching these goals, so we will work with your family to create a personalized treatment plan that can be applied to all aspects of your child’s life, and will track your child’s progress to ensure he or she is hitting each and every target.
We will typically recommend a minimum of 10-25 hours per week of Focused ABA for a minimum of 6 months.
With Focused ABA, we work with your child to target a specific set of goals using fun, playful activities.
With Comprehensive ABA, our primary objective is to close the skill gap between your child and his or her peers.
This objective may require intervention for multiple developmental skills, such as cognition, communication, social, play, and self-help skills, to name a few. We will create learning targets for each area and combine them into one unique, comprehensive plan to get your child back on track.
We usually recommend 25-40 hours per week of Comprehensive ABA for a minimum of 2 years.
