Applied Behavioral Analysis
-
is a data driven approach to modifying behavior.
-
An evidenced based practice for helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder learn new information.
-
assesses the antecedents and consequences to challenging behavior to determine their function (reason they are happening).
-
It decreases challenging behaviors by teaching replacement behaviors based upon function that are age appropriate and socially valid. An example of a replacement behavior is teaching a child to communicate with a main focus on requesting desired items (either through sign language, verbally, or picture system).
-
Using the ABLLS-R or VB-MAPP assessments, individualized goals that are the building blocks for learning are developed in areas of visual performance, receptive language, motor imitation, labeling, and intraverbal skills.
-
ABA has been thoroughly researched and found to be effective for children with autism spectrum disorders but is also applicable and effective for children with Down syndrome or behavior problems.
-
Treatment plan is developed and implemented by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
-
Insurance Coverage varies by provider and will be determined before treatment begins. At this time, Medicaid does not cover ABA therapy.
