Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a scientific approach focused on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It involves analyzing a child's behavior, identifying the reasons behind it (the function), and then implementing strategies to increase desired behaviors (like communication or sharing) and decrease challenging behaviors (like tantrums or self-injury). These strategies are based on principles of learning and reinforcement, and progress is carefully measured over time.
Q2: 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, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines specific, measurable goals and the strategies to achieve them. A trained Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) then implements the plan during therapy sessions. Regular meetings with the BCBA ensure the plan remains effective and is adjusted as needed.
Q3: Who are the therapists at Here on the Spectrum?
Our therapists are highly qualified professionals. Our ABA therapy sessions are led by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) under the direct supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The BCBA designs the treatment plan, provides ongoing guidance, and ensures the therapy is delivered according to best practices and ethical standards.
Q4: What can I expect during the first session?
The first session usually involves an initial meeting with a BCBA. This meeting focuses on getting to know your child, understanding your concerns and goals, and gathering information about their history. The BCBA will observe your child interacting and may conduct some assessments. This session helps build rapport and provides the necessary foundation for developing the personalized treatment plan.
Q5: Does Here on the Spectrum accept insurance?
Insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the provider, plan, and location. While Here on the Spectrum provides all necessary documentation required by insurance companies for potential reimbursement, we cannot guarantee approval. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your plan's coverage details, including deductible, co-pay, and the number of sessions they will cover. Our administrative team is available to assist you with the submission process.
