What is ABA Therapy?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Therapy is a highly effective approach that works to address challenging behavior and encourage skill development. It is commonly used to support children with autism spectrum disorder because it is structured and goal-oriented, which helps children thrive.
ABA Therapy focuses on creating positive behavioral changes. This addresses areas such as communication, social interaction, and self-care, and helps children learn how to play with others. While focusing on positive behavioral therapy, it also helps children deal with aggression and self-injury, which can be common areas where children with autism struggle.
What Does ABA Therapy Include?
As an evidence-based approach to help children with autism spectrum disorder, ABA Therapy involves a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) assessing each child’s behavior, challenges, and strengths. This helps them devise an individualized treatment plan that outlines goals tailored to their needs.
Once a treatment plan is established, your child receives hands-on treatment to help them practice their skills. By using positive reinforcement, children are aware of what behaviors are accepted and which need improvement.
As your child undergoes ABA Therapy at Therapy and Beyond, their progress is constantly monitored so that their treatment plan can change if needed.
Goals of ABA Therapy
Communication Skills:
Work on verbal and non-verbal skills so children can interact better with others.
Social Interactions:
Encourage children to have positive interactions with peers, family members, and teachers.
Behavior:
Helping to reduce the actions that lead to self-injury and aggressive behavior.
Independence:
Encourage children to have the confidence to take on daily activities such as dressing and eating on their own.
BENEFITS OF ABA THERAPY
ABA Therapy is proven beneficial for children with autism spectrum disorder because of the outcomes children experience.
Customized Plans
When parents decide to enroll children in ABA Therapy, each child receives their own treatment plan. This is tailored to their own needs and abilities.
Positive Reinforcement
Children are rewarded for positive behaviors. This helps them learn what is acceptable and encourages them to behave that way in their daily lives.
Life Skills Focus
Through ABA therapy, children can build practical skills for everyday life. This helps them to gain the independence and confidence they need to thrive.
Long-Lasting Success
Children who undergo ABA Therapy make developmental gains that last into their daily school lives and beyond.
ABA Therapy at Therapy and Beyond: Our Approach
While implementing the fundamentals of ABA therapy, we tailor each plan to suit your child. We understand that each child is different and benefits from different methods.
Therapy and Beyond provides intensive, individual Applied Behavior Analysis therapy with a foundation in evidence-based research. Before starting therapy, we evaluate each child. From here, we write a report with our professional recommendations for your child.
Once a specific treatment program is devised, we focus on all areas of development. Each child is assigned a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who oversees your child’s progress along with a team of therapists.
We consider parents a crucial part of their child’s therapy team. One of our goals is to help parents become familiar with their child’s program so they can implement the lessons taught in their child’s sessions into their daily lives.
FAQ About ABA Therapy
Is ABA therapy only for children with autism spectrum disorder ?
While ABA is widely used for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, its principles apply to human behavior on a broader range. ABA techniques are also used in special education, brain injury rehabilitation, developmental delay interventions, and even organizational management.
Is ABA therapy considered a “cure” for autism ?
Autism is a neurological difference, not a disease that can be cured. ABA therapy aims to support autonomy, build practical skills, and reduce dangerous or distressing behaviors. This helps individuals better navigate their environments and achieve their personal goals.
What is positive reinforcement ?
Positive reinforcement is a core principle of ABA. When a desirable behavior is followed by a meaningful reward, such as a favorite toy or access to an activity, the individual is more likely to repeat that behavior in the future.
Does ABA try to stop repetitive behaviors ?
Modern ABA practice distinguishes between harmless repetitive behaviors, such as hand-flapping or rocking, and dangerous behavior. Interventions are typically reserved for behaviors that cause physical harm, such as head-banging, or severe disruption to a person’s ability to learn and function safely.
Testimonials
Hear what parents have to say about their children’s experience at Therapy and Beyond in Oklahoma City
As a single mom, I did what I could. I got him on the waitlist for a diagnosis. It took over 9 months - but we finally got it. And then I managed to get him into an ABA for 32 hours a week.
We worked with ABA at every step. I met with his care team daily, and his coordinator once a month, to make sure we were mimicking interventions at home and using similar language. We held him back and then did homeschool for kindergarten to keep my very smart child from falling too far behind. We commuted over an hour each way, four days a week, to keep his care team stable.
Before ABA, my child would have meltdowns that lasted hours. Not tantrums, meltdowns - the type that involved hurting himself, me, and property. Blood, sweat, and tears took on a new meaning for me. I had never worked so hard for something that felt so unattainable.
Thanks to a lot of hard work and the amazing care team at Therapy & Beyond Of Oklahoma, my child went to his first day of school today. He stayed in his regular classroom all morning. He went to lunch and recess, and then kindly asked for a break to the special ed room. He took his break, cooled off and calmed down, and returned to the classroom for the remainder of the day. There were no meltdowns. There have been none since I picked him up.
If you had told me even 2 years ago that Frankie would come this far, I’m not sure I could have believed it. It’s every mother’s dream to set our children up for success, but I had no idea what kind of help ABA could provide. I cannot thank these people enough.
