ABA Therapy
An appropriate assessment is conducted, including interviews with family/teachers, observation, and formal testing. An individualized treatment plan is developed based on the unique strengths, needs, and learning styles of the child.
Evidence-based interventions are implemented for acquisition of meaningful skills and/or reduction of challenging behaviors.
Treatment plans may include:
Direct 1:1 ABA therapy in the home, school, and community
Parent and teacher training
Coaching and support for parents and siblings
Behavioral shadowing in the school or community

FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT
When we address challenging behaviors, we must first understand the relationships between the environment and the behavior.
The goals of an FBA include:
- Clearly defining challenging behaviors
- Pinpointing any triggers or contexts where the behaviors are likely to occur
- Identifying why the behaviors are occurring and which more appropriate behaviors can be taught to replace the problem behaviors.
A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) helps us learn why the behavior occurs, resulting in more effective interventions and positive changes that last over time.
We are now offering social skills groups!
