Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-based therapy that helps individuals with autism learn new skills and reduce challenging behaviours. ABA is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for autism, and it’s endorsed by leading health organizations like the U.S. Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association.

ABA therapy is highly adaptable, allowing therapists to tailor their approach to each individual’s unique needs. The approach has evolved significantly since its inception in the 1960s. Initially, Dr O. Ivaar Lovaas developed a method called Discrete Trial Training (DTT), which relied heavily on repetition, prompting, modelling, and reinforcement. However, this method also included punishment, which was found to be counterproductive for many children.

In recent years, ABA has shifted towards more naturalistic and play-based approaches. Therapists now focus on reinforcement-based procedures, which encourage children to learn through exploration and discovery. Instead of adult-directed tasks, therapy sessions involve a collaborative exchange between the therapist and child, with both parties sharing control over the activities.

This developmental approach mirrors how children naturally learn and develop skills. For example, children typically learn to say “big ball” or “red ball” before they can say “I want ball please.” By mimicking this natural progression, ABA therapists can help children develop essential skills like communication and problem-solving.

ABA therapy is tailored to help individuals develop skills that are crucial to their daily lives and social interactions. The therapy focuses on two key areas: teaching skills that promote self-regulation and improving skills that are essential for daily living.

The goal of ABA therapy is to reduce behaviours that hinder a person’s ability to function, learn, or participate in their community, and to replace them with more adaptive and effective behaviours. This can include teaching coping skills, such as managing emotions and anxiety, and functional replacement behaviours, such as using alternative methods to communicate.

In addition, ABA therapy aims to increase skills in areas that are important for personal growth and independence, such as communication, social interaction, and daily living skills. Every child’s program is uniquely designed based on their individual strengths, needs, and goals, which are determined through a thorough assessment of their current skills and abilities.

As parents who pour endless amounts of love into our kids, there are tendencies to wonder if they are developing healthily. To ease your worries, we got you! Here are some things you should look out for: 

• Difficulty expressing daily needs and basic emotions 
• Notable sensory problems 
• Difficulty in new environments 
• Trouble making social contacts 
• Difficult behaviours displayed 
• Weak or improper gross/fine motor skills

An autism diagnosis is not required to receive ABA therapy, but if your child does, we would highly suggest that you share it with us to better assist us in understanding your child more. Notably, ABA Therapy is most commonly prescribed for people diagnosed with autism, research has shown that ABA therapy can also be an effective treatment for other developmental delays and disorders such as speech delay, global developmental delay (GDD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning difficulties and etc.

Selecting the right ABA therapy provider for your child can be a complex and overwhelming process. With other centres and therapy options available, it’s essential to find a provider that aligns with your values and meets your child’s unique needs. 

To make an informed decision, we recommend asking to speak with the therapists in your area to discuss their approach, methodology and experience. Share your expectations and preferences for ABA therapy, and inquire about their ability to accommodate your needs. Don’t hesitate to ask about the qualifications and training of the staff who will be working with your child. Additionally, consider factors such as wait times, availability, and flexibility in scheduling. 

It’s crucial to understand that ABA therapy is a goal-oriented approach with measurable outcomes for your child. Discuss with the provider how progress will be monitored and evaluated. If you’re not satisfied with the initial provider or feel that it’s not the right fit for your family, don’t be afraid to (explore alternative options)/(to have a talk with the provider to discuss how they can better meet your expectations). Your child’s success is paramount, and it’s essential to prioritize their needs in your search for the right ABA therapy provider.

The frequency and duration of ABA therapy for your child will depend on a personalised assessment conducted by our clinician. The recommended hours of therapy will be tailored to your child’s unique needs, taking into account factors such as their age, the extent and severity of skill deficits, and the presence of other related services. 

In general, our clients receive between 3 and 10 hours of ABA therapy per week, although this may vary depending on the individual needs of your child. As your child progresses in their skills acquisition, the amount of recommended therapy hours may decrease over time in a gradual and controlled manner. We will regularly review and adjust the dosage of therapy to ensure that it remains optimal and effective.

Our treatment plans are designed to include specific and measurable criteria for phasing out or ending ABA therapy service, ensuring a seamless transition to the next stage of care.. We believe in ongoing evaluation and revision of treatment plans to ensure that your child receives the most effective and efficient support possible.

A comprehensive ABA assessment is a personalised process designed to comprehensively map a child’s developmental-behavioural profile, encompassing both strengths and areas of need. This evaluation has several aspects which typically involve a review of health and educational records, as well as interviews with parents and caregivers to gain insight into their concerns and aspirations. Observations at home or in school settings provide a firsthand look at the child’s behavioural patterns, while formal assessment tools are used to provide a more detailed understanding of their skills and abilities. 

The clinician will work closely with you to identify your most pressing concerns and goals for improvement, using this information to further develop of a tailored intervention plan. This plan will include specific, measurable strategies and objectives that are designed to address the child’s unique needs and foster meaningful growth. After the assessment, the clinician will provide you with a personalised recommendation regarding the suitability of ABA therapy, as well as a prescription for the optimal frequency and duration of therapy to support your child’s development.

At Dayna ABA, we recognise the vital role parents and caregivers play in the success of our ABA therapy programs. We believe that a collaborative approach, involving the entire family, is essential for effective outcomes. Our therapy teams may work closely with parents and caregivers to develop personalised strategies that address socially significant behaviours, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.

By involving parents and caregivers in the treatment process, we empower them to implement ABA principles and respond to behaviours effectively. This not only enhances the therapy experience but also increases the likelihood of generalisation, as skills are practiced across different environments and with different individuals. Research has consistently shown that parent involvement leads to significant, long-term improvements in skills development.

The level of parent participation can vary depending on the child’s circumstances, but typically involves a combination of activities, such as direct teaching of ABA strategies, goal-focused discussions with the team, completion of standardised assessments or surveys, and observation of therapy sessions. By working together as a team, we can create a tailored plan that addresses each child’s unique needs, in a way, setting up for the long-term success.
