What services does ABA Your Way provide?
ABA Your Way offers comprehensive ABA therapy services designed to meet each client’s unique needs. We focus on skill-building, communication, and behavior management through personalized interventions. Our approach is client-centered, compassionate, and designed to be effective in real-world settings.
How does ABA Your Way approach ABA differently than traditional providers?
At ABA Your Way, we believe in ABA reform, which means prioritizing client autonomy, reducing coercive techniques, and emphasizing naturalistic, developmentally appropriate interventions. We strive to deliver compassionate, individualized care that respects each client’s preferences and promotes their independence.
What is ABA reform, and why is it important?
ABA reform focuses on making ABA therapy more client-centered, respectful, and trauma-informed. This approach values the individual’s autonomy and prioritizes their comfort, using naturalistic methods that build meaningful skills in a supportive way. We believe ABA reform leads to better outcomes and a more positive experience for our clients.
What are naturalistic developmental behavioral solutions (NDBS), and how do they benefit my child?
NDBS is an approach that integrates ABA principles with natural, play-based interactions. Instead of structured drills, NDBS allows children to learn in natural settings and everyday routines. This method fosters skill development in a way that feels engaging and meaningful.
How does ABA Your Way involve parents in the therapy process?
We believe parents are an essential part of the therapy team. We offer guidance, training, and strategies that parents can use at home, reinforcing what’s learned in therapy and helping to build skills in everyday settings. Our approach aims to empower parents to support their child’s progress naturally.
Does my child have to sit through structured drills during sessions?
No, our sessions are designed to be as natural and engaging as possible. We use play and natural interactions to teach skills, allowing children to learn in a relaxed environment that aligns with their interests.
What types of goals will my child work on during therapy?
Goals are individualized based on the needs of each client. They may include communication skills, social skills, daily living skills, and behavior management. We work with families to ensure goals are meaningful, achievable, and align with the client’s development.
Will therapy sessions be held in our home, at a clinic, or in another setting?
Our therapy sessions can be held in various settings, depending on what works best for each client. We offer in-home, community, and sometimes virtual sessions to support learning in the environments where skills are most needed.
How do you track and measure progress in therapy?
We collect data on specific goals during each session and regularly review this information to assess progress. Families receive regular updates and reports, allowing them to see their child’s development over time.
What are SOAP notes, and why are they used in ABA?
SOAP notes are a method of documentation used to summarize each session’s objectives, observations, and outcomes. They help therapists track progress consistently and communicate with the entire therapy team to ensure continuity and quality of care.
How do you ensure my child’s comfort and safety during sessions?
We prioritize creating a comfortable, supportive environment for every client. Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care and follow individualized plans that consider each child’s unique needs and preferences.
Do you use physical prompting in your therapy?
No, we do not use physical prompting. Instead, we use techniques that encourage natural learning, respecting each client’s boundaries and autonomy.
