Personalized, Positive, and Proven: The Power of ABA
Applied behavior analysis, also known as ABA, uses positive reinforcement to reinforce desired behaviors and lessen socially inappropriate or challenging behaviors.
One of the best qualities of applied behavior analysis is that it is so flexible. All of the children who work with one of our ABA staff will be assessed so that we can design a customized program that meets their needs.
Our Clinical Team
Comprehensive ABA Treatment
A highly trained Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA) is an expert in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA).
They conduct assessments, create a behavioral intervention plan, identify medically necessary goals, recommend the prescribed hours, create the programs on how to implement the goals, monitor the progress of the child, make modifications to programs, provide supervision of the technicians, ensure programs and data collection are accurate, create 6-month reports to update the families and healthcare providers, stay up to date on advances in ABA strategies, address parental concerns related to patient care, and provide parent education meetings. Will be observing the client 5%-10% of prescribed hours in a month, which is typically weekly or bi-weekly observations.
Behavioral Technician/Registered Behavioral Technician (BT/RBT/Technician)
Expertly trained in ABA strategies of how to identify and implement the behavioral treatment plan prescribed by the CS with challenging behaviors including proactive strategies, teaching strategies, and reactive strategies.
The technicians are also trained to play with the child, simultaneously implement all prescribed goals in both natural environmental training and discrete trial training. Additionally, they will collect data of challenging behaviors, the independence of the child-if the child performed the skill independently or to document the type of prompt needed for success, and write session notes regarding what occurred in the session. The technicians come as scheduled but will typically provide services the most frequently Monday-Saturday.
Session Structure
Arrival
The BT/RBT will arrive at your home at the scheduled time, he or she will greet you and your family. They may ask questions about how your child slept, how he or she did with goals outside of session, and if there was anything that could affect them in session that day.
If you could please let them know anything that happened out of the ordinary it would be greatly appreciated, as BTs/RBTs really like to know and benefits from knowing this information as it will help them identify how session will go and what activities should be utilized. They will set up their materials and log in into their technological devices.
Duration of Session
The sessions are guided by a prescribed treatment plan tailored specifically for you and your family member which includes treatment goals and a behavioral intervention plan. These plans guide the therapist’s in how to run the desired programs to increase the skills of your child.
Teaching a child to request
Assuming the child can say the word, the BT and child could be playing with a toy. The BT may say something like my turn and put their hand over the toy, look at the child expectantly, and wait. If the child doesn’t say the toy within 3-5 seconds, they may prompt the first sound of the word or the whole word. If the child says the word, the therapist will provide access to the toy and praise right away.
Teaching to identify a body part
A BT and child may be singing head shoulder’s knees and toes. The therapist may say “Where’s your head?” and wait for the child to touch their head. If the child does not touch head the BT may touch their own head and say “head”. When the child touches their head, they will provide praise and continue to sing the song.
Teaching a child to imitate
A BT may be playing with toys. The BT says my turn. The child hands over the toy and the BT says “Do this” the BT claps their hands. If the child does not have an imitation skill it may be recommended in the treatment plan that the BT immediately provides a full physical prompts to clap their hands and provides the toy back.
Teaching a child to tie shoes
A BCBA will break down each of the steps and the BT will take data and track which steps the child is showing progress in. The BT may untie their own shoe and model how to tie their shoe. The child will be reinforced for completing the expected steps. This means the child may only need to complete one step before getting reinforced. A natural opportunity may be a therapist having the child put on their shoes to go into the backyard. A contrived opportunity may be asking the child to put their shoes on to just practice.
Departure
The last 10-15 minutes of session the technician is expected to clean up, write their case note about the session, finish inputting collection, and answer questions you might have regarding the session. At the end of every session the technician and the clinical supervisor will ask you to sign on their technological device which states the date and times they provided the service.
The case note will be a summary of any changes that occurred outside of the session, any challenging behaviors that occurred, the procedures that were used to respond, the progress of the skills, and any other medically pertinent information. If you have any questions and/or concerns about what is written in a case note, please reach out to the CS.
