Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding how human behavior is affected by the environment. It focuses on analyzing behavior and developing strategies to increase helpful behaviors and reduce challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, helping them acquire essential skills for communication, social interaction, learning, and daily living activities.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy work?
A: ABA therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the individual's current skills and challenges. Based on this assessment, a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) is created. This plan outlines specific goals, the strategies used to teach desired skills or reduce problematic behaviors, and methods for measuring progress. Therapy sessions involve breaking down skills into small steps, using positive reinforcement (praise, tokens, privileges) to encourage desired behaviors, and teaching alternative, more appropriate ways of behaving.
Q3: What assessments do you perform?
A: Our assessment process is thorough and may include developmental screenings, IQ testing, language assessments, observational data collection, preference assessments, and interviews with parents and caregivers. This comprehensive evaluation helps us understand the child's unique profile and design an effective, individualized treatment plan.
Q4: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
A: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the individual's needs, goals, and progress. Many children benefit from intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week initially) for a period, followed by less intensive services as skills are mastered. Progress is regularly monitored, and the treatment plan is adjusted accordingly. Therapy continues until the desired goals are achieved or until maintenance strategies can be implemented effectively.
Q5: What is the cost of ABA therapy?
A: The cost of ABA therapy can vary based on factors like the intensity of services, the child's insurance coverage, and the specific requirements of the treatment plan. We work with families to understand their insurance benefits and explore available funding options. We strive to provide clear information about costs upfront and are committed to making therapy accessible. We recommend contacting our office directly at (778) 608-2398 for detailed information regarding fees and insurance acceptance.
