ABA Services for Children We Provide

IABA understands the importance of ABA therapy used to help autistic children.

We offer the following services for children:

  • Intensive ABA Therapy: These services are for children who need 20 or more hours of therapy per week in order to have the best chance of acquiring new skills and reducing negative behaviors. We recommend this therapy for children who are under five years old or children who have significant behavior problems and/or significant delays in their learning. Family involvement is required to ensure skills learned in ABA sessions are maintained at home.
  • Non-Intensive ABA Therapy: These services are for children who need less than 20 hours of therapy per week in order to be successful. The number of hours your child will need in order to make progress will be determined by a BCBA. Again, family involvement is required.
  • Individualized Assessments: These assessments are conducted by our BCBAs and program masters. The assessments we create are based on the goals of the family and the milestones of their child, including play, language, daily living, and academic & social skills. If a child is exhibiting behaviors that are a danger for themselves or others, an assessment will be created to recommend a treatment plan to decrease their problem behaviors.
  • Individualized ABA Programming: Every one of our programs is completely unique because every one of our clients is unique. Each of our client’s programs is customized and will begin at their current skill level. We have several different programs, including Precision Teaching, Discrete Trial Training, and Naturalistic Trial Training. Each of our programs is reviewed on a daily basis and goals are determined based on the client’s progress.
  • Weekly Overlaps with BCBA and/or Program Manager: In order to fully determine your child’s progress, our BCBA needs to monitor them in action. In addition to reviewing data, our BCBA will meet with clients each week to ensure that the program is tailored exactly to the rate at which the child is progressing.
  • Parent Training: Parent involvement is crucial and is a requirement for all of our programs. If a child is learning new skills with one of our staff, but the parent has not seen it, the skill has not truly been mastered. There are monthly family meetings in which the family learns about the skills their child has mastered and new goals are set. Families also receive training on how to help their children continue to work on skills at home. If a child has a Behavior Intervention Program (BIP) to decrease problem behaviors, the family is required to attend training and implement the BIP outside of session time.
