These plans outline clear, measurable goals and the strategies used to achieve them, focusing on skills that will have real-world impact.
ABA therapy at Here on the Spectrum is not about a one-size-fits-all approach. It's about breaking down goals into manageable steps, using positive reinforcement, and teaching skills in a way that is motivating and effective for your child. We emphasize generalization, ensuring that skills learned in therapy sessions translate successfully into everyday life at home, school, and within the community. Our focus is on empowering children to reach their full potential and build a foundation for a fulfilling life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It involves analyzing a child's behavior, identifying the reasons behind it (the function), and then implementing strategies to increase positive behaviors and decrease challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, but its principles can be applied to support various developmental needs. It focuses on teaching practical skills and promoting positive change through data-driven methods.
Q2: How does the assessment process work?
The initial assessment is a crucial step to understand your child's unique profile. It typically involves a combination of interviews with parents/guardians, direct observation of your child, and standardized assessments. Our team gathers information about your child's developmental history, current skills, areas of strength and challenge, and your family's goals. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to create a detailed map of your child's needs and aspirations, forming the basis for the individualized treatment plan.
Q3: What does a typical ABA therapy session look like?
ABA therapy sessions are tailored to the individual child and their specific goals. They can vary widely but often involve structured teaching in one-on-one settings, often in a dedicated therapy room. Sessions might include discrete trial training (teaching new skills), natural environment teaching (applying skills in real-world contexts), play-based learning, or focused behavior support. The duration and structure depend on the child's age, attention span, and the goals being addressed. Sessions are designed to be engaging and motivating for the child.
Q4: How are goals determined?
Goals are developed collaboratively. Our team reviews the assessment results and discusses potential goals with you. We focus on goals that are meaningful to your child and family, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Goals often fall into areas like communication (verbal and non-verbal), social skills, play skills, self-help skills (e.g., dressing, feeding), academic skills, and reducing challenging behaviors. Your input is invaluable in shaping the treatment plan and ensuring the goals align with your priorities.
