WHAT IS ABA THERAPY?
We apply the science of behavior analysis to make significant changes in your child’s life. ABA focuses on the most important behaviours and skills for your child given their unique needs and circumstances.
Behavior is anything an individual does, including how they communicate.
During therapy, some behaviours will be increased – these are the behaviours we desire, such as communicating wants and needs, successful toileting, or appropriate interactions with siblings.
Behaviours that interfere with your child's learning or ability to enjoy their environments will be targeted for decrease. It is the job of your ABA team to work with you to identify the goals for treatment based on what is most socially significant and meaningful for your child and your family.
Every treatment decision made by your ABA team is data-based & intentional, tracked methodically & analyzed regularly. This is the “analysis” part of applied behaviour analysis. To begin, a thorough treatment plan is written based on an initial assessment. This ABA treatment plan will review your child’s developmental history, current level of need, and areas of strength. The plan will also outline goals for each learning objective. Don’t forget, this means behaviours we want to decrease and increase. Throughout therapy, this treatment plan is revised based on your child’s progress and ongoing needs.
Finding the Right Plan for You
The first step of beginning services with us is consulting with one of our clinicians to discuss which service will best suit your needs
