How will ABA therapy help my child and family?
Receiving therapy at an early age can have direct effects on your child’s brain development which can change the course of your child’s life. With early and intensive therapy, your child will improve their communication skills. This would include basic signals, such as letting you know (the parent) what may hurt, or what they want at that given moment. This reduces challenging behaviors like tantrums and can boost your child’s ability to learn.
ABA therapy also focuses on teaching replacement behaviors
We have designed this therapy to provide your child with one warm and nurturing environment. Prior to beginning at Advance Behavior Coalition, we assess your child’s learning needs and we work to understand how your child learns best. We then implement that knowledge to use ABA research-based strategies to teach your child in a manner that works best for them, since every child is different. This program could help your child to prepare for their next steps in the community, such as School, Daycare, or a long-term ABA program.
The following are some examples of skills we would cover:
- Toilet training
- Functional communication skills
- Following directions such as verbal instructions
- Social skills such as interacting and playing with others
- Acquiring self-soothing skills
- Reducing challenging behaviors and much more
