Nurturing potential. Inspiring hope. Creating futures.
The goal of ABA is for your child to be happier, feel understood and function independently – within a neurotypical world.
ABA is an approach to understanding and changing behavior. It’s not a specific therapy itself, but a range of different strategies and techniques that can be used to teach people with autism new skills and stop harmful behaviors.
All certified behavior analysts have completed coursework specific to behavior analysis, completed at least 1,000 hours of supervised field work experience, and passed a board exam. Certified behavior analysts complete continuing education credits to maintain their certification.The BCBA oversees all treatment and supervises everyone that is working with the patient to ensure the patient is receiving the appropriate care + achieving the best outcomes.
RBT, known as the therapist, is an individual who implements behavior-analytic services to patients and clients under the close supervision of a BCBA. The RBT/ABA therapist is the one who works directly with your child in your home.
In-home ABA’s success is rooted in 5 pillars
Are there qualified BCBAs in charge of the program? Are they certified by BHCOE?
How are the therapists trained + selected? Do they have experience and a love of working with children with ASD? Are their hearts in it, or is it just a job?
How often do they monitor and track the data? Is there actual visible + lasting progress – no matter how small? Do they adapt the program if it’s not giving the right results? What do other parents say? Do they set goals at the right level – not too high or too low?
What is the directors’ experience working with ASD? Are they keeping up with new research, changes and ideas in the ASD world? What is their reputation amongst other professionals?
