Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver FAQ
1. What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how human behavior is learned. It focuses on analyzing the relationship between a behavior and the environment that surrounds it. ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement to increase desirable behaviors and decrease challenging ones, teaching new skills in a structured and individualized way. It is widely recognized as an effective treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities.
2. How does ABA Therapy work?
The process typically begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the child's current skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific goals and the strategies to achieve them. A trained therapist then implements the plan during sessions, using techniques like positive reinforcement, prompting, and shaping. Regular sessions are complemented by consultation and training provided to parents or caregivers to help generalize skills learned in therapy.
3. What ages do you work with?
ABA therapy is beneficial for individuals across a wide age range. We primarily focus on children and adolescents, typically from early intervention stages (around 2-3 years old) through to teenagers. However, our expertise extends to supporting individuals of various ages who could benefit from our behavioral intervention strategies.
4. Does ABA Therapy help with specific skills?
Absolutely. ABA therapy is highly individualized, but common areas of focus include:
- Communication Skills: Verbal and non-verbal communication, language development, requesting, answering questions.
- Social Skills: Interacting with peers, understanding social cues, sharing, taking turns.
- Adaptive Living Skills: Self-care tasks (dressing, grooming), play skills, following routines or instructions.
- Behavior Reduction: Decreasing challenging behaviors like aggression, self-injury, tantrums, or repetitive actions.
- Academic Skills: Depending on the child's needs and goals.
The specific goals are determined collaboratively with the family based on the assessment and the child's unique needs.
