About Aba Therapy

When your child is diagnosed with autism, it can be hard to know where to start. As you search for autism services and supports, you will find a range of options.  It can be difficult to know what will work best for your child. ABA therapy is an evidence-based option that can help your autistic child develop new skills to help them in different settings including home, school, and the community. ABA therapy has been proven to be effective across settings, including home-based and the community.

 

No two children are the same. Therefore, it may take some time for you and your service provider to learn what works best for your family and child. As you journey through the process of having an ABA therapy program developed, don't be afraid to ask questions and voice any worries or concerns that you may have to your ABA team. You know your child best, and your input is a vital component of the process.

 

When you first meet with your ABA team, you'll talk about your goals for your child. You'll work together with your Behaviour Analyst to set goals that are most meaningful to your family and will allow for measurable progress.  You will connect regularly to discuss your child's progress and changing needs over time. As your child grows and develops, you'll likely have new concerns to discuss. You'll work with your ABA therapy team to ensure that these new areas are added to your ABA support plan.
