Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is affected by the environment. It focuses on identifying the reasons behind specific behaviors and using positive techniques to increase desired behaviors and reduce challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, helping them acquire essential life skills and improve their quality of life.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy work?
A: ABA therapy involves a comprehensive assessment to understand the child's unique needs and goals. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan is created. This plan uses techniques like positive reinforcement (rewarding desired behaviors), clear instructions, structured teaching, and data collection to track progress. Therapists work one-on-one with the child, focusing on specific skills broken down into small, manageable steps.
Q3: What ages do you work with?
A: We primarily work with children, typically from early intervention age (around 2-3 years) through adolescence (up to around 18 years old). Our focus is on early intervention, which is often most effective, but we also support older children and young adults as needed.
Q4: What can I expect during ABA sessions?
A: Sessions are tailored to the child's individual needs and goals outlined in their treatment plan. They typically involve structured activities focused on specific skills (e.g., communication, social skills, following instructions, independent play). Therapists use positive reinforcement (like praise, tokens, or preferred items) to encourage desired behaviors and learning. Sessions are designed to be engaging and fun for the child.
Q5: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
A: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and progress. Many children benefit from intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week initially) for a period, often several months to a couple of years. Therapy intensity and duration are regularly reviewed and adjusted based on progress and changing goals. Some children may require ongoing support, while others may reach their goals more quickly.
