Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a scientific approach focused on understanding how environment influences behaviour. It involves identifying specific behaviours, analyzing their causes (antecedents and consequences), and implementing strategies to increase desired behaviours (like communication, social skills, or independent task completion) while reducing challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, helping them acquire new skills and improve overall quality of life.
Q2: How is ABA therapy customized for my child?
Every child is unique, and so is their therapy plan. At Here on the Spectrum, we begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's specific challenges, strengths, interests, and learning style. Based on this assessment, our team develops a highly individualized ABA therapy plan. This plan outlines clear, measurable goals tailored to your child's needs and incorporates techniques and activities that are motivating and relevant to them. The plan is regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure it remains effective and aligned with your child's progress and evolving needs.
Q3: Who provides the ABA therapy services?
Our ABA therapy is delivered by a team of qualified professionals, including Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behaviour Technicians (RBTs). BCBAs are responsible for designing the therapy plan, overseeing implementation, and providing direct therapy. RBTs assist under the supervision of the BCBA, implementing the strategies and techniques outlined in the plan. All our therapists and technicians undergo rigorous training and adhere to ethical standards to ensure the highest quality of care.
Q4: What does the assessment process involve?
The assessment process typically involves an initial consultation with a parent or caregiver to understand the child's history and concerns. This is followed by direct assessments with the child, which may include observations, developmental screenings, interviews, and standardized assessments. These evaluations help our team gather comprehensive information about the child's skills, challenges, interests, and learning style, allowing us to create an accurate and effective baseline for developing their personalized therapy plan.
Q5: How long does ABA therapy typically take?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and the rate of progress. ABA is typically an intensive therapy, often involving 10-40 hours per week initially, although the intensity can be adjusted over time. Many children show significant progress within the first year or two of consistent therapy. However, the long-term commitment is often determined by the family's goals and the child's ongoing needs. Our focus is on continuous progress and supporting your child's development over the long term, adapting the therapy plan as needed.
