Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a type of therapy that can improve social, communication, and learning skills
through reinforcement strategies.
In simple terms ABA is a scientific therapy used to understand behavior.
'Behavior' refers to the skills and actions needed to talk, play and essentially live a happier life day-to-day.
ABA helps both children and adults who learn and think differently, obtain those skills they are lacking.
Here at Blueprint Behavioral Connections, we work with each family to identify their goals and implement an individualized care plan that is tailored to their child specifically. The child will have their own team of a BCBA 'Board-Certified Behavior Analyst' and a Therapist: RBT 'Registered Behavior Technician' who will work with them to learn and grow in a way that is best suited for their individual needs.
The process for ABA Therapy generally involves an evaluation which is followed by treatment and monitoring.
First, an evaluation is conducted to determine exactly what behaviors need to change and then goals are set to determine the desired outcome.
The individual is taught new learning skills or given coping strategies for avoiding certain behaviors.
Throughout treatment, progress is carefully monitored and recorded.
ABA can help your child learn behaviors that allow them to live as independent a life as possible and communicate better with others.
Depending on your family's goals, your child can learn:
Communication and Self Advocacy Skills
Safety Skills
Problem Solving Skills
Household & Self-Care Routines
Social & Play Skills
How to Regulate Emotions
How to Reduce & Eliminate Dangerous & Harmful Behaviors
Upon receiving your intake paperwork one of our BCBAs will contact you to set up an initial consultation. They will come to the meeting prepared to learn more about your family as a whole and ask questions that will help them determine your child’s primary areas of need. At this meeting, you should be prepared to answer a series of in-depth questions about your child, your family and places outside of the home where you would like support. This information will help guide the BCBA in determining the assessments that will allow them to develop your child’s treatment plan.
The BCBA will decide which assessments will be the most appropriate for your child. A combination of 1:1 direct assessment, observations, data collection, and interview-based assessments will be administered.
Once the assessments are completed, the BCBA will develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Our plans include assessment results, treatment goals, recommended schedule for therapy, teaching procedures and data sheets used to track your child’s progress during the course of therapy. Following the completion of the treatment plan the BCBA will set up a meeting with the family to review the treatment plan. If you are happy with the direction of therapy, we will have you sign the treatment plan and prepare to begin our direct therapy services.
The goal of our therapy is to generalize skills across all settings and people. Our therapists will make it a point to keep real world application in mind when teaching skills by continuously fading prompts with the ultimate goal of achieving independence. The BCBA will engage the family in observing and learning the techniques used within therapy so they can use it when the therapists are not present. Finally, when it is appropriate and the client is ready, the BCBA will focus on generalizing the acquired skills to the natural environment. It is important to us to see effective strategies utilized across as many environments as possible.
Blueprint is owned and operated by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst / NY Licensed Behavior Analyst, with 15+ years of experience in the implementation of ABA principles with children with developmental delays. We have a friendly, knowledgeable staff of experienced therapists who will work with your child in your home, private school, or daycare setting.
