Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on identifying the reasons behind specific behaviors and using positive techniques to increase desirable behaviors and decrease challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly individualized, breaking down skills into smaller, manageable steps and teaching them systematically. It is widely recognized as the gold standard treatment for autism spectrum disorder.
Q2: How does the ABA therapy process work at Here on the Spectrum?
The process typically begins with an initial assessment to understand the child's strengths, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, our BCBA develops a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific goals, the strategies to be used, and the frequency of sessions. A qualified therapist then implements the plan during one-on-one sessions, consistently applying the strategies. Regular parent training and consultation sessions are also provided to ensure everyone involved is informed and can support the child's progress effectively.
Q3: Who provides the ABA therapy services?
Our ABA therapy services are provided by a qualified team led by Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). These professionals supervise Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), who are trained individuals who directly implement the behavior intervention plans under the guidance of the BCBA. All therapists undergo rigorous training and adhere to ethical standards to ensure high-quality care.
Q4: Does Here on the Spectrum accept insurance?
We understand the importance of insurance coverage. While we do not directly bill insurance companies, we work with many extended health benefit (EHB) plans. We provide detailed invoices that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to confirm your plan's coverage details for ABA therapy services.
Q5: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and the family's commitment to the program. Research indicates that intensive ABA therapy (typically 20-40 hours per week) for at least one to two years yields the best outcomes. However, therapy is often ongoing, adapting to the child's progress and changing needs over time. Our treatment plans are reviewed regularly, and goals are adjusted accordingly.
