Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a therapeutic approach based on learning principles. It focuses on understanding how environment and behaviour interact. ABA therapists analyze a child's behaviour to identify the reasons behind it and then develop strategies to increase desired behaviours and decrease undesired ones. This is done through positive reinforcement and data-driven techniques to promote meaningful and lasting change.
Q2: How is ABA Therapy personalized for my child?
Every child is unique, and so is their therapy plan. At Here on the Spectrum, we begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's specific needs, strengths, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, our team develops a highly individualized treatment plan. This plan outlines clear, measurable goals and specific strategies tailored to your child's learning style and environment, ensuring the therapy is relevant and effective for them.
Q3: What happens during an initial assessment?
The initial assessment involves a thorough evaluation conducted by our qualified Behaviour Analyst. This typically includes direct observation of your child, interviews with parents and caregivers to gather detailed history and information, and standardized assessments if appropriate. The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child's current skills, challenges, and learning environment to inform the development of their personalized ABA therapy plan.
Q4: What skills can ABA Therapy help my child develop?
ABA therapy is versatile and can target a wide range of skills essential for a child's development and quality of life. These include improving communication (verbal and non-verbal), enhancing social interaction and play skills, teaching self-care routines, promoting independence in daily activities, managing challenging behaviours, and developing academic skills. The specific focus areas are determined collaboratively based on your child's unique needs and goals.
Q5: What qualifications do your therapists have?
We are committed to providing the highest standard of care. Our team includes qualified professionals, including Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behaviour Technicians (RBTs). All therapists undergo rigorous training and adhere to ethical practices. Our BCBAs design and supervise the therapy plans, ensuring they are evidence-based and tailored effectively to each child's requirements.
