Parent Support Groups

you don't need to feel alone

Parent Support Groups

As a parent of children with autism, you may have felt alone or isolated at times on your journey. You may feel as though no one understands what you are going through, and you may wonder if you are making the best decisions for your kids. Joining parent support groups can help you in many ways.

Reduce Isolation
When you have dedicated your life to helping your children, you can begin to feel isolated in some ways. In other ways, you may lack the adult interaction that is generally necessary for mental and emotional health. By involving yourself in parent support groups, you can begin to build those bonds again. Also, these support groups help you to become healthier, which directly benefits your children. You can meet with other parents in New York who are feeling the same way.

Boost Confidence
Even when you have thoroughly researched all of the options and asked all of the necessary questions, you may sometimes wonder if you are making the right decisions. In fact, you can feel doubt about your choices. Participating in support groups for parents allows you to speak with others who have the same concerns and doubts. You can learn that you aren’t alone. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, you can boost one another’s confidence. You can remind one another that you are all making the right decision by pursuing ABA therapy.

Form Friendships
At many times, you may feel as though you cannot and should not prioritize yourself. Since you are focused on the ABA therapy and the needs of your children, you may have had to let friendships fall to the wayside. However, people need friend, and these support groups can provide you with those levels of interaction. Meeting other parents in New York who are going through similar situations also opens up the possibility of spending time together outside of the support groups. Remember that nurturing yourself is an important part of nurturing your children.

These support groups provide you with wonderful opportunities. Instead of feeling as though you are alone in the world, you can know that others are there going through the experience too. This level of support can make a serious difference in how you perceive the world.

process Our Process

How It Works?

Research over the last 40+ years has shown the efficacy of ABA Therapy for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

ABA not covered by your insurance? We can help! Open enrollment to buy a supplement single plan insurance November 1 to November 15. Contact Achievement Behavior Services for more information today.

Intake

Our services begin with an intake consultation with a member of our administrative team. This is a time where families are able to discuss primary areas of concern and determine if ABC can meet their needs.

Behavior analysis focuses on the principles that explain how learning takes place. Positive reinforcement is one such principle. When a behavior is followed by some sort of reward, the behavior is more likely to be repeated. (516) 229-1194

Insurance Eligibility

During this process our team will determine eligibility for services and navigate the insurance process for you. You will be asked to fill out an application, provide proof of medical diagnosis of Autism spectrum disorder, provide a prescription for ABA Therapy services, and provide proof of insurance.

We offer Behavior Intervention Plans for families who live in the New York as well as in the New Jersey area. We'll help parents to create a BIP that describes any problem behaviors that are known. Contact us at (516) 229-1194 for info today!

Assessment

The next step is to assess your child’s skill level, which is necessary to guide the development of an individualized Autism treatment plan. The assessment will be conducted by a licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and will include the use of various assessment tools. Typically, assessments are conducted in the home setting. However, arrangements can be made to conduct the assessment in an area that best suits your family’s needs.

At our Social Skills, Groups Staff and parents act as authors who exchange information with ASD children through a formulated process. Contact Achievement Behavior Services for more info. We have locations in the New Jersey and New York areas.

Therapy

Through assessment in everyday situations such as home and school, behaviors are targeted and a detailed therapy plan is developed. Throughout the treatment, data is recorded and analyzed in order to show progress of meaningful change and to evaluate, modify, and refine treatment for the most socially significant outcomes.
