Decades of Research Supporting ABA Therapy for Autism
Behavioral Framework leverages Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy as a way to help those diagnosed with autism better manage life’s challenges by improving learning, social, and communication skills that enable families to better manage the challenges that come along with an autism diagnosis.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for autism provides communication and behavioral solutions.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a proven, research-based therapy that helps improve focus, learning, social skills, and communication skills. Although also utilized in treating other conditions, many experts consider ABA therapy the primary and most effective treatment for those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
ABA brings a focus on behavioral improvements and skill development through positive reinforcement and repetition. Identifying critical challenges and effective solutions is not a one size fits all approach – ABA therapy is tailored to the unique needs of the child and family.
Begin Your Child’s ABA Therapy Journey Towards Success and Independence Today
We’re eager to help you begin your journey. We guide you through the requirements to start the process. Your child will have their strengths and needs assessed, an individualized plan developed, and a clinical team will be identified to match your child and family’s needs.
ABA Therapy assessments identify critical skill-, behavior- and communication-related challenges. By empowering those diagnosed with autism to confidently tackle those challenges and develop the essential skills for daily life, ABA therapy helps families discover a path to success.
ABA is a Holistic, Individualized Approach
Each child is unique; therefore, their therapy program will be designed to match. We build on strengths, striving to keep the learning process a positive experience. Your child’s clinical team works closely with your family to decrease non-desired behaviors and increase appropriate behaviors.
Your ABA therapy team will outline specific interventions and strategies to accomplish the behavior, communication, and other functional goals identified during the initial assessment. Your ABA plan will include detailed instructions and in-person guidance on how to implement and reinforce the recommended strategies.
We Use ABA to Help Families Learn and Manage Autism
An assessment leads to an individualized treatment plan tailored to your child’s strengths and needs. Therapy takes place in your home, allowing for transparency and family involvement. Your child’s progress is closely monitored by our behavioral experts.
The ABA plan provided by our team will not only provide guidance and support for the child, teen, or young adult(s) with autism, but also the parents and other family members. Family involvement is integral to the success of ABA therapy. A lot of knowledge and skills are required to effectively overcome existing pain points and grow together.
ABA Therapy at Home
We offer in-home ABA therapy for children up to age 21. This approach helps your child tackle challenges in their everyday environment. In-home therapy also allows for greater visibility into your child’s treatment and encourages family involvement during sessions. Being in a familiar setting can help some children feel more at ease, making in-home therapy an ideal starting point for reaching their ABA goals.
ABA Therapy Forges a Path Forward For Families
Caregiver collaboration is critical to the creation of your child’s therapy goals. The skills Behavioral Framework works on include those that are important to your child and your family. Starting at your child’s initial ABA assessment, we work with you to ensure meaningful goals are selected.
