Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver FAQ
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how environment influences behaviour. It involves analyzing a child's current behaviours, identifying the reasons behind them (the function), and then implementing strategies to increase desired behaviours (like communication or sharing) and decrease challenging ones. This is done through positive reinforcement, where desirable actions are rewarded to encourage their repetition. The goal is to improve social, communication, learning, and adaptive skills.
Q2: How does Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy work?
Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's unique profile, strengths, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, our qualified therapists create a personalized ABA treatment plan. This plan outlines specific, measurable goals and the strategies to achieve them. Therapy sessions are conducted one-on-one with a therapist, focusing on discrete skills. We also provide consultation and training to parents and caregivers to help generalize skills learned in sessions into everyday life.
Q3: What age range do you work with?
We primarily work with children from early intervention age (typically birth) up to adolescents and young adults. Early intervention is highly effective, but ABA therapy benefits individuals of various ages. Our approach adapts to the developmental level and specific needs of each child.
Q4: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, the complexity of needs, the goals set, and the family's resources (time and budget). Some children may require intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week) for a period, while others might benefit from less intensive programs. Progress is regularly reviewed, and the treatment plan is adjusted accordingly. Many children show significant progress within months, but long-term support is often beneficial.
