If your child has present behavioral difficulties, ABA is a powerful resource to facilitate your child meeting their goals. Problem behaviors are presented in various diagnosis including but not limited to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, Emotional Disturbance, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and other related disorders. Frequently, a child may have problem behaviors with no Diagnosis and ABA therapy may still facilitate their ability to achieve related milestones.
What is family-centered?
The term family-centred is related to placing family’s concerns and child’s needs as a priority. Prior to reviewing procedures or review of standardized scores related to the skills other children have, we build a relationship with the family. The skills we teach your child require parents to participate and place value on the skill. To best address this we set the parent/caregiver as the key “stakeholder” of treatment (stakeholder referring to parents/caregiver thoughts and wishes for their child being the majority deciding factor on introducing skills).
In family-centered, the family is a key stakeholder. In family-centered therapy, your child's therapy is dependent on a collaborative relationship with parents of the child and our clinical team of board certified behavior analyst and registered behavior technicians.
Parent training has a large role in ABA Therapy. Assures, ABA therapy collaborates with the parent to teach the interventions/ teaching styles that are being used with your child in therapy session. Within parent training, parents can ask any question and create personal goals to accomplish outside of therapy.
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) aims to teach positive behavior to people across different abilities. According to the National Institutes of Health, ABA services are beneficial for the children facing behavioral issues related to various diagnosis including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Emotional Disturbance, and others. ABA is a scientifically proven type of intervention. The effectiveness of these strategies has been supported by research and clinical studies. By using this approach, children are given the ability to perform many of the tasks of life independently because of the skills they are taught. The goal of ABA therapy is to teach replacement skills to problem behaviors while increasing current functional skill set over time through customized, individualized treatment plans.
