ABA Therapy takes everyday processes and situations and turns them into small, easy-to-understand steps that can be learned, repeated, and rewarded. These processes and situations are determined based on each child’s unique needs and a customized treatment plan is created.
ABA Therapy, or Applied Behaviour Analysis Therapy, has been widely known as the most effective treatment for individuals living with autism. Learn more about how this therapy can impact the lives of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The first part to ABA Therapy involves creating a unique treatment plan. Before beginning therapy, a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) will meet with you and your child to create a customized treatment plan based on their specific goals and needs.
Once a plan has been developed, your child will begin working with a Behaviour Technician, who is responsible for implementing the treatment plan developed by your BCBA. This Behaviour Technician will work one-on-one with your child towards their established goals.
As treatment is underway, your Behaviour Technician and Board Certified Behaviour Analyst will continuously monitor your child’s progress. This allows them to alter treatments and/or introduce new goals throughout the treatment process.
