Our adult ABA services are ideal for individuals who:
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on the principles that explain how learning takes place. Positive reinforcement is one such principle. When a behavior is followed by a reward, the behavior is more likely to be repeated. Through decades of research, the field of behavior analysis has developed many techniques for increasing useful behaviors and reducing those that may cause harm or interfere with learning.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the use of these techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior. Behavior analysts began working with young children with Autism and related disorders in the 1960s. Early techniques often involved adults directing most of the instruction. Some allowed the child to take the lead. Since that time, a wide variety of ABA techniques have been developed for building useful skills and independence in learners with Autism from toddlers through adulthood.
These techniques can be used in structured situations such as a classroom lesson as well as in "everyday" situations such as family dinnertime or the neighborhood playground. Some ABA therapy sessions involve one-on-one interaction between the behavior analyst and the participant other in group instruction and natural settings.
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is a graduate-level certification in behavior analysis. Professionals who are certified at the BCBA level are independent practitioners who provide behavior-analytic services. In addition, BCBAs supervise the work of Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts and Registered Behavior Technicians.
All programs, therapy assessments and training are conducted by or overseen by License Board Certified Behavior Analyst
The RBT is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services. The RBT does not design intervention plan. It is the responsibility of the RBT supervisor to determine which tasks an RBT may perform as a function of his or her training, experience, and competence. The BACB, supervising the RBT, is responsible for the work performed by the RBT on the cases they are overseeing.
Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) work with families to create in-home, school, or in clinic, behavior plans and programs that are administered by trained Registered Behavior Interventionists that work one-on-one with children to improve communication, language, social skills, routines, play skills and implement behavior plans using applied behavior analysis (ABA) teaching practices. Ongoing training and program review are provided to the family and RBT to ensure rapid sustainable growth.
ATAP is a state program to assistance all families with children with Autism to fund up to 6 hours of training a month by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and 20 hours a week in home programming by a Registered Behavior Technician.
