Applied Behavior Analysis is an evidence-based approach to teaching functional skills and reducing behaviors that interfere with daily participation. Here is what that means in practice.<\/p>\n
Jump to:<\/strong><\/p>\n Applied Behavior Analysis examines how behavior is learned, and how the environment either supports or interferes with it. In practice that means identifying why a behavior occurs, then teaching a more effective alternative.<\/p>\n We begin with an assessment: your child preferences, current skill level, and the function of the behaviors that concern you. From there we set individualized, measurable goals and teach them in graded steps, reinforcing progress so that new skills are maintained.<\/p>\n Skills are taught in the settings where they are needed, at home, at school and in the community, so that they generalize. Progress is recorded at every session, and the plan is revised when the data indicate it should be.<\/p>\n Ethical practice centers the child dignity and assent, and the family priorities. The objective is communication, autonomy and participation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n A diagnosis is not required in order to request an evaluation. If ABA is not the appropriate service, we will say so and direct you to the discipline that is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Requesting, refusing, making choices and being understood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dressing, mealtimes, sleep routines and morning transitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Turn-taking, sharing, joint attention and sustained engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Regulation during transitions and unexpected events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Reducing reliance on prompts across everyday routines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Replacing unsafe or interfering behaviors with functional alternatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Generalization depends on what happens between sessions, which is why parent training is written into the treatment plan rather than offered alongside it.<\/p>\n We teach the specific procedures you will use at home, a small number at a time, and review them at each visit. If a procedure does not fit your household, we replace it with one that does.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For coverage, here are the plans we work with<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It varies by child and by goal. Some targets change within weeks, others take considerably longer. What is consistent is that progress is measured, and you see the same data we do.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n ABA is used from early childhood through adolescence. The procedures change with age and developmental level. The principles do not.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Parent training is a component of treatment, not an optional extra.
