Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on improving socially significant behaviors by applying principles of behavior analysis. This can include increasing helpful behaviors (like communication or task completion) and decreasing challenging behaviors (like aggression or self-stimulation). ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, but its principles can be applied broadly to help people learn new skills and modify unwanted behaviors.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy work?
ABA therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the individual's current skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops an individualized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific, measurable goals and the strategies to achieve them. A certified behavior technician then implements these strategies during therapy sessions, which can occur in various settings (e.g., clinic, home, school). Data is collected consistently to track progress and make data-driven decisions to adjust the treatment plan as needed.
Q3: What ages do you work with?
ABA therapy is beneficial across the lifespan. Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy primarily focuses on children and adolescents, typically from early intervention age (around 2-3 years old) through high school. However, our principles and some of our team members may also offer services to older individuals on a case-by-case basis. We strongly believe in early intervention for optimal outcomes.
Q4: What conditions do you treat?
While ABA therapy is particularly effective for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), its principles are widely applicable. We commonly work with children and adolescents who have ASD to improve communication, social skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and enhance independence. However, ABA techniques can also benefit individuals with other developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and behavioral challenges stemming from various causes.
Q5: How do I get started with ABA Therapy?
Getting started involves a few key steps. First, you can contact our office in Vancouver or New York at (778) 608-2398 or visit our website https://aba-therapy.ca/. We will schedule an initial consultation. During this consultation, we will discuss your child's needs, answer your questions, and determine if ABA therapy is a suitable approach. If appropriate, we will guide you through the assessment process to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your child's specific goals.
