ABA is an acronym for Applied Behavior Analysis, also referred to as Behavioral Engineering. The ABA method is made up of scientifically progressive techniques used to improve or correct certain types of behavior. Working with children within the autism spectrum, the therapy has proven success in managing problematic behavior while developing social and academic skills.
The main focus is on improving social, reading, scholastic and communication skills. This includes life changing aspects of everyday interaction: personal hygiene and grooming, verbal and fine motor skills, as well as organizational tasks and responsibilities, such as setting the table or cleaning up after oneself.
If you see signs that indicate your child may not be developing as he or she should, speak to your pediatrician. If your child is diagnosed with autism or on the spectrum, contact Illuminate as soon as possible for a tailored-made caring program that will get the best results for a bright beckoning future.
BCBA is an acronym for Board Certified Behavior Analyst - a professional therapist versed in the ABA methods with graduate-level certification. BCBAs provide behavior analytic services to outline specific plans and supervise and guide the ABAS work in improving or changing a child’s negative behavior.
Experts agree the sooner the better. In fact, children under age 5 are best suited to gain from the ABA therapy. Nonetheless, older children within the autism spectrum can benefit as well.
