Reaching Higher Through ABA
How the Process Works

number 1

Initial Assessment

A friendly BCBA® will come to your home to observe and assess your child. Through analyzing their strengths, challenges, sensitivities and needs, they’ll draw up a treatment plan tailored to your child.

number 2

Therapy

An RBT®, sometimes accompanied by a supervising BCBA®, comes to your home, weaving therapy strategy into a lighthearted play session. Sometimes sessions may take place in other community settings such as parks, libraries or daycare centers.

number 3

Monitor Progress

During and after every session, your child’s clinician takes detailed notes of how your child is reacting, integrating skills and practicing alternative behaviors. Further sessions are planned accordingly, ensuring that progress is made, step by tiny step.

number 4

Success

With lots of positive reinforcement, we celebrate small victories and develop them. Day by day, your child grows, emerging more confident, communicative and capable.

An ABA session usually starts out with  the RBT® building a connection with your child by engaging in their favorite activities.  Then, the RBT® will alternate between structured and unstructured activities that are child-led and play-based to target the goals in the treatment plan. The RBT® will also collect data on your child’s progress which allows the BCBA® to monitor progress. Each session is tailored to your child- planned with careful consideration of their therapy goals, progressing abilities and even their favorite activities!  

That’s the goal! ABA sessions are focused around play and are filled with positive reinforcement so that your child stays motivated to learn. We do not use any punishment techniques and we keep therapy centered around activities that are child-led and play-based.
