Welcome to Aqua ABA Therapy, where we strive to provide comprehensive information and support for parents seeking the best care for their children. In our latest blog post, titled “What is the Process for ABA intervention? A Step-by-Step Guide to ABA Therapy,” we will walk you through the journey of ABA therapy, from initial assessment to ongoing progress monitoring. Join us as we demystify the process, empowering you to make informed decisions and ensuring your child receives the highest quality of care. Let’s explore the steps together!
Effective ABA intervention for autism is not a “one size fits all” approach and should never be viewed as a “canned” set of programs or drills. On the contrary, our team of experts at Aqua ABA Therapy, customizes the intervention to each learner’s skills, needs, interests, preferences and family situation. For these reasons, an ABA program for one learner will look different than a program for another learner. That said, all of our programs have the following in common:
Planning and Ongoing Assessment
* A qualified and trained behavior analyst designs and directly oversees the intervention.
* The analyst’s development of treatment goals stems from a detailed assessment of each learner’s skills and preferences and may also include family goals.
* Treatment goals and instruction are developmentally appropriate and target a broad range of skill areas such as communication, sociability, self-care, play and leisure, motor development and academic skills.
* Goals emphasize skills that will enable learners to become independent and successful in both the short and long terms.
* Instruction plans break down desired skills into manageable steps to be taught from the simplest (e.g., imitating single sounds) to the more complex (e.g., carrying on a conversation).
* Intervention involves ongoing objective measurement of the learner’s progress.
* The behavior analyst frequently reviews information on the learner’s progress and uses this to adjust procedures and goals as needed.
ABA Techniques and Philosophy
* The instructor uses a variety of behavior analytic procedures, some of which are directed by the instructor and others initiated by the learner.
* The learner’s day is structured to provide many opportunities – both planned and naturally occurring – to acquire and practice skills in both structured and unstructured situations.
* The pupil receives an abundance of positive reinforcement for demonstrating useful skills and socially appropriate behaviors. The emphasis is on positive social interactions and enjoyable learning.
* The client receives no reinforcement for behaviors that pose a harm or impede learning
At Aqua ABA Therapy, we keep a close relationship with all relevant caregivers and professionals (Teachers, Speech Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Nannies, etc.) to work collaboratively as a team to generalize and implement the best treatment plan.
As an experienced group of professionals, we have witnessed how much of a difference teamwork can make in helping learners reach their full potential.
