Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how human behavior is affected by the environment. It involves identifying specific behaviors, analyzing the factors that influence them (antecedents and consequences), and implementing strategies to increase desired behaviors and decrease undesired ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, helping them develop crucial skills in areas like communication, social interaction, academics, and daily living activities.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy work?
ABA therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the child's current skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific goals and the strategies to achieve them. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) then implements these strategies during therapy sessions, guided by the BCBA's plan. Data is collected consistently to track progress and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan, ensuring it remains effective and relevant.
Q3: Is ABA Therapy effective?
Absolutely. ABA therapy is considered the gold standard treatment for autism spectrum disorder. Decades of research have demonstrated its effectiveness in improving core symptoms of autism, reducing challenging behaviors, and teaching new skills that enhance quality of life. The effectiveness of ABA therapy is further amplified when it is individualized, consistently implemented, and involves family training.
Q4: What ages do you work with?
We primarily work with children from early intervention age (typically birth) up to adolescents and young adults. Our services are tailored to meet the developmental level and specific needs of each child, regardless of age.
Q5: How do I get started with ABA Therapy?
Getting started is simple. You can contact us by phone at (778) 608-2398 or visit our website at https://aba-therapy.ca/. We will guide you through the initial assessment process. This typically involves gathering information about your child's history, current challenges, and goals, followed by an observation or assessment conducted by our qualified BCBA. Based on this assessment, we will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your child's unique needs and your family's objectives.
