Applied Behavior Analysis & Behavior Treatment 

About Our ABA Services

ABA stands for applied behavioral analysis. Essentially, it is a therapeutic tool that many healthcare professionals use. Most often, you can find ABA used in treatment options for children with an autism diagnosis. 

ABA is handy for teaching life skills. This behavioral tool is also unique in that it can be specialized to meet each individual's needs. There is a wide range of adverse symptoms and behaviors with autism, mental illnesses, and substance abuse disorders

ABA therapy's variety gives an individualized approach to treatment. The results show better outcomes and long-term outlooks. Treatments can also teach skills that reduce self-harm.

It uses positive reinforcement that encourages good behavior and social interaction. Additionally, it can look at a child's motives and triggers that promote poor behaviors.

Our Process

1. With child's diagnosis, latest psychological evaluation, and ABA prescription, we submit an "Initial Assessment Authorization Request" to the insurance company. This can take 1-2 weeks for them to process.
2. Once the assessment authorization is approved, one of our BCBAs performs the assessment and provides us with a Behavior Plan.
3. The Behavior Plan will then be submitted to the insurance company for the Authorization to provide services. This can take another 1-2 weeks for them to process.
4. Once the authorization for services is received, the Behavior Technician can begin providing services.

We would be able to begin providing services immediately once the Authorization from the insurance company is secured. The number of hours of ABA therapy per week is determined by the Initial Assessment conducted by the BCBA, and what the insurance company ultimately authorizes.

ABA vs CBT

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is another common form of treatment that can be misconstrued as ABA. CBT incorporates more of the 'talk therapy' approach. It uses a person's thought processes for assessing, identifying, and changing behaviors.

It is a much broader scope of therapy and is often used in conjunction or separately for treating the same diagnoses as ABA. On the contrary, ABA uses conditioning approaches for behavioral changes.

Through this approach, ABA can pinpoint more precisely what behaviors are causing problems. Once a therapist identifies a problematic area, they can use one or multiple treatment plans.

The Goals of ABA Therapy

ABA therapy has decades of research behind it. It is an ethical and safe way to help your child progress in areas where they are struggling. ABA therapy will help your child be a better member of society.

ABA therapy will help parents understand what they can do for their children. Parents will be able to take a bigger role in their child's skill growth. If your child struggles with situations like crowds or being away from you, ABA therapy will also give you the tools you need to help them relax.

ABA therapy for kids is engaging, fun, and productive. They will gain the positive skills they need to function in our society. Your child will also understand that negative behaviors will not help them, so they will stop doing them.
