SERVICES

Bloom uses the research-proven principles of ABA to reduce problem behaviors and teach new skills, always with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life and independence.

ABA can be used to teach a variety of meaningful skills:

  • Communication

  • Independent Living Skills

  • Play and Leisure Skills

  • Social Skills

  • Academic skills

  • Community Participation Skills

  • Challenging Behavior Reduction

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

Progress monitoring and ongoing collaboration with parents, teachers, and other professionals are the keys to success! All data is monitored by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to determine effectiveness, and treatment plans are revised based on the data collected.

We are now offering social skills groups!

Group sessions will target:

• Paying attention
• Organizing and planning
• Initiating tasks and staying focused on them
• Regulating emotions
• Self-monitoring (keeping track of what you are doing)

Progress monitoring and ongoing collaboration with parents, teachers, and other professionals are the keys to success! All data is monitored by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to determine effectiveness, and treatment plans are revised based on the data collected.

PARENT/FAMILY TRAINING

As the parents and family, you are the center of our team. We partner with you to create an environment that promotes meaningful learning experiences that work for your child. Parent training looks different for each family. Families receive individualized training on behavioral principles, expanding language, teaching to independence, and more. We will choose a format that works best for you –learning in the moment during daily routines, completing structured lessons together, or a mixture of these!

BEHAVIORAL SHADOWING AND IN-SCHOOL SUPPORT

Consultation for a specific child might include a Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Plan or strategies to increase learning in the classroom. Through ongoing professional collaboration, ABA methods can be implemented across settings to help students participate with their peers and gain independence.

School Consultation

Our BCBAs are available to consult with schools, childcare centers, and homeschooling families for a specific child or for a group of teachers. Training can be tailored to your needs. Let us know how we can help!

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.
