Applied Behavior Analysis therapy (ABA therapy) is the most effective treatment for autism spectrum disorders aimed at increasing communication, self-help, and social skills while decreasing behaviors that interfere with the development of these skills.
Delivered 1:1 by a Registered Behavior Technician (“RBT”), direct ABA therapy provides numerous opportunities to practice skills using a fun, child-centered approach with the support of an RBT.
The child’s individual treatment plan, written by their Board Certified Behavior Analyst (“BCBA”), guides the skills practiced during a direct therapy session.
Group ABA therapy provides exciting opportunities for children to practice learning in small groups with direction from a skilled therapist.
The ability to learn in small groups is an important foundation that supports effectively navigating various small group settings such as classrooms, an airport or grocery store, or even when eating at a restaurant.
Social skills therapy seeks to prioritize interactions between groups of peers.
Delivered in a small group setting, children are provided the opportunity to practice skills related to developing and maintaining friendships including turn-taking, negotiation, problem-solving, and retaining the interests of others in the group through the use of LEGOs, board games, skits, team challenges, and more.
Parents and caregivers collaborate with the Board Certified Behavior Analyst throughout the entire course of treatment discussing immediate and long-term goals important to the family.
The BCBA shares assessment and progress data while providing individualized, hands-on training to the family.
Delivered by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, behavior consultations serve to continuously assess the effectiveness of the individual treatment plan comprised of short and long-term goals created both by the individual’s family and members of his/her treatment team.
The BCBA provides feedback to the child’s treatment team during consultations, directing all aspects of therapy to ensure maximal progress.
Occupational therapy targets regulation of sensory input from the environment; a balanced sensory system allows for optimal learning to take place.
Occupational therapy incorporates both calming and alerting activities based on the individual needs of each child.
After a thorough review of medical history and developmental testing, the Board Certified Behavior Analyst will select assessments that best meet the needs of your child.
These assessments reveal current skill levels as well as skills that will need to be targeted in order to meet larger developmental goals.
