FAQ
Q1: What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy?
A1: ABA therapy is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on identifying the reasons behind specific behaviors and using positive techniques to teach new skills and reduce challenging ones. It is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, helping them develop communication, social, academic, and life skills.
Q2: How does ABA therapy work?
A2: ABA therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the individual's current skills and challenges. Based on this assessment, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops an Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP) with specific, measurable goals. A trained therapist then implements the plan through direct teaching, practice, and reinforcement. Parent training is often a crucial component, teaching caregivers strategies to support generalization and maintenance of skills outside the therapy session.
Q3: What ages do you provide ABA therapy for?
A3: We provide ABA therapy services for individuals of all ages, typically ranging from young children (toddlers and preschoolers) through adolescents and adults. Our approach is adapted to the developmental level and specific needs of each individual.
Q4: How long does ABA therapy typically take?
A4: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the individual's goals, progress, and the complexity of needs. Therapy is typically provided in sessions over weeks, months, or years. Progress is regularly monitored, and the treatment plan is reviewed and adjusted as needed. Many individuals benefit from ongoing support even after reaching their primary goals.
Q5: What is the cost of ABA therapy?
A5: The cost of ABA therapy can vary based on factors such as the intensity of services, the qualifications of the therapists, and the specific requirements outlined in the treatment plan. We work with families to provide transparent information about costs. Furthermore, many extended health benefit plans cover ABA therapy services. We recommend contacting your insurance provider and our office directly to understand coverage options and discuss financial arrangements.
