ABA SERVICES

ABA SERVICES

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific and practical approach that aims to understand the purpose or reason of behaviors and their strengthening factors so that desired behaviors can be replaced them and an opportunity to train appropriate skills arises. ABA requires the implementation of behavioral principles by applying behavioral strategies, environmental modifications to improve and teach new behaviors and eliminate problem behaviors.

ABA THERAPY PROCESS

 

Step 1: Confirm a diagnosis of ASD or other developmental delays by medical providers such as a specialist physician, psychiatrist, or clinical psychologist. Then, the specialist recommends ABA services to your health insurance plan or provides a recommendation letter for ABA services in the diagnostic report.

Step 2: Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) will be conducted by a BCBA to identify target behaviors and determine what maintains challenging behaviors. 

Step 3: A comprehensive individualized intervention plan will be designed, and objective goals will be identified based on the FBA.

Step 4: The intervention plans will be implemented one-on-one or in a group by qualified and licensed behavioral practitioners such as a BCBA, BCaBA, and RBT. They will collect data and conduct further analysis to determine treatment effectiveness and monitor progress for developing skill acquisition and reducing challenging behaviors.

Step 5: Ongoing evaluation and progress monitoring are crucial parts of ABA therapy to identify and address environmental conditions that may interfere with or prevent behavioral services. It allows a BCBA to make data-based decisions about effectiveness and the need for treatment revision, continuation, or termination of treatment plans. Additionally, parents will be asked to complete assessments every six months to track progress and set new goals.

Step 6: Required hours for ABA services gradually reduce as the child’s abilities grow and meet the goals.

Step 7: ABA services will be terminated when established goal criteria have been met, generalized, and maintained, and the child reaches a functional and socially accepted level.

 

 

HOW ABA IS WORKING 

ABA is a science and ABA therapy generally functions around the idea of 3 steps Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence (ABC MODEL).

 

ABC MODEL

     

     Antecedent                                                         Behavior                                            Consequence          

 Any conditions or events before the behavior                          Behavior                      Any conditions or events after the behavior   

 

In the ABC model, modifying antecedent and, or consequence factors leads to behavior alteration in similar conditions in the future. ABA methodologies encompass a spectrum of research-based strategies, techniques, and methods that manipulate antecedents or consequences. These approaches are carefully selected based on comprehensive assessments and tailored to meet the individual's specific needs, ultimately fostering enhancements in the individual's overall quality of life.
