Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
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 reinforcement to teach new, more appropriate skills while reducing challenging behaviors. ABA therapy is highly effective because it is based on observable and measurable principles.
How does the ABA therapy process work?
The process typically begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's current skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, our therapists develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific goals and the strategies used to achieve them. Regular sessions are conducted, often supplemented by consultation and training for parents/caregivers to support generalization of skills. Progress is continuously monitored and the plan is adjusted as needed.
At what age can children receive ABA therapy?
ABA therapy is effective for individuals across the lifespan, but it is particularly beneficial for children who are learning and developing skills. We primarily work with children from toddlers (around 2-3 years old) through adolescence. Early intervention is often recommended, but ABA therapy can be valuable at any age.
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage for ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the insurance provider, plan details, and the child's diagnosis. Some extended health benefits, provincial health plans (like MSP in BC), and government programs (like the BC Autism Program) may offer partial or full coverage. We work with families to understand their options and provide guidance on navigating insurance claims. Please contact our office for detailed information regarding insurance and payment options.
What can I expect during an ABA therapy session?
ABA therapy sessions are tailored to the individual child's goals and needs. They may involve structured teaching, play-based learning, discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, or focused behavior support. The specific activities will be designed to target the goals outlined in the child's treatment plan. Sessions are typically conducted one-on-one by a trained therapist and are focused on skill development and behavior modification in a supportive, encouraging environment.
