Service Description

As part of my ongoing training, I work in partnership with an established therapy centre to support individuals and families interested in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy. If you are considering ABA as an intervention, we can connect you directly. Sessions will be arranged through the center and depending on availability, may be facilitated by myself or another therapist from the team. ABA therapy is a scientifically proven method that uses principles of behaviour to teach skills and reduce challenging behaviours in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This therapy is based on the idea that behaviour is learned and that we can change behaviour by manipulating the environment. ABA therapy focuses on teaching new skills and reinforcing positive behaviour while reducing negative behaviour. Aut2grow's ABA therapy program involves a comprehensive assessment to identify your child's strengths, weaknesses and specific needs. Based on the assessment, we develop an individualized treatment plan that targets your child's specific goals. Our therapy sessions are conducted in a one-on-one setting with a trained therapist who is there to help your child achieve their full potential and improve their quality of life. Here are some key components of what our ABA sessions entail when working with your child: Goals: The therapist will have specific goals for each session, which will be based on your child's individual needs and abilities. These goals may include improving communication, social skills, self-help skills or academic skills. Reinforcement: The therapist will use positive reinforcement to encourage your child to learn and engage in appropriate behaviour. Reinforcement may include praise, tokens or access to preferred activities or items. Data collection: The therapist will collect data during each session to track your child's progress and determine if the goals are being met. Parent involvement: Parents are an important part of the ABA therapy process. The therapist will provide feedback on your child's progress after each session and suggest strategies to be implemented in the home environment. Individualized sessions: Each session will be tailored to your child's unique needs and abilities. The therapist will adjust the session plan as necessary to ensure that your child is making progress.
