Customized ABA Therapy Program for Your Child's Individual Needs
Autism Intervention
A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs a unique program tailored to meet your child’s needs in the clinic and/or school setting.
The BCBA will use the assessment information to develop and tailor an individual treatment plan with specific goals and objectives for the year. Pine Cone Therapies uses the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP®) which includes language assessment, barriers assessment, and transition assessment, and the ABLLS-R ® by Dr. James W. Partington, Ph.D., BCBA-D to guide our teaching. Once the treatment plan is created, therapy will include one-on-one instruction conducted in 1-4-hour sessions, for both Full-time and Part-time hours per week.
The treatment plan will include:
- Supervision by a BCBA
- Individualized treatment plans will be updated according to the child's growth
- Data collection to guide all academic and behavioral decisions
- Ongoing parent meetings and trainings
- Progress reports every quarter as requested by family
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied behavior analysis, also known as ABA, is a scientific approach to shaping appropriate behaviors and reducing problem behaviors.
Applied behavior analysis is well known as an evidence-based intervention for children diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). ABA is the leading approach to improving the developmental deficiencies associated with autism. ABA therapy is likely the best approach to your child’s development.
ABA can be defined as the science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior.
In other words, ABA therapy focuses on human behavior and can increase desired behaviors and minimize unwanted behaviors.
Signature practices
ABA uses interventions that are based on what we know about how people act and how they learn and develop. The interventions that ABA providers recommend are based on what scientists, researchers, and specialists have discovered about what makes people do what they do and how people can learn new things and accomplish goals.
ABA therapy addresses specific problems and develops realistic solutions for those concerns to help people improve their quality of life. This is important for the person receiving ABA Therapy, rather than focusing on general ideas or generic goals that might not be applicable or meaningful to the person.
ABA is also based on seven core concepts. These concepts are known as the seven dimensions of ABA. Any ABA services that your child receives would include these characteristics in some way.
1. Generalization
2. Effective
3. Technological
4. Applied
5. Conceptually Systematic
6. Analytic
7. Behavioral
