ABA Therapy
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. 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. 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. Group instruction can likewise prove useful.
How does ABA benefit those with Autsim
ABA is widely recognized as a safe and effective treatment for autism. It has been endorsed by a number of state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Surgeon General and the New York State Department of Health. Over the last decade, the nation has seen a particularly dramatic increase in the use of ABA to help persons with autism live happy and productive lives. In particular, ABA principles and techniques can foster basic skills such as looking, listening and imitating, as well as complex skills such as reading, conversing and understanding another person’s perspective.
What is Applied Behavior Analysis?
Analysis begins with diagnosis. It is important to accurately identify the cause of certain behaviors in order to offer useful remediation. Each child is unique, so a proper diagnosis will allow us to provide the best therapeutic response.
ABA therapy uses psychological techniques that concentrate on certain behaviors. Academic improvements, including reading, will provide children with a better understanding of the world around them. Establishing better communication skills gives a patient the chance to interact with those around them. Providing adaptive learning and social skills is also critical for a patient’s overall well-being.
ABA as a therapy can be used to improve many of the lifestyle circumstances that our ASD patients may find challenging. Enhancing fine motor dexterity improves a child’s confidence and ability to function in a variety of settings. Teaching better domestic efficiency can also lead to a more fulfilling lifestyle. Developing treatment plans for grooming and hygiene not only build confidence, it also nurtures greater independence. These treatments promote growth will become critical as your child gets older, ranging from punctual awareness to greater competence on the job.
ABA becomes beneficial in a variety of settings at home or in school. We believe that providing these therapeutic techniques to children also allows them to adapt to other community or job settings as they get older. Improved behavior and skill sets are shown to increase independence that, in turn, decreases the dependence on special services.
