Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a therapeutic approach based on the principles of learning and behaviour. It focuses on understanding how environment and experience influence behaviour and uses this knowledge to bring about positive changes. ABA therapy breaks down skills into smaller, manageable steps and uses positive reinforcement to teach new skills and reduce behaviours that may interfere with a child's learning, social interaction, or daily functioning.
2. How does the ABA therapy process work?
The process typically begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the child's current skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to the child's specific needs and objectives. This plan outlines the goals, target behaviours, strategies, and data collection methods. Our therapists then implement the plan under the supervision of the BCBA, working directly with the child during scheduled sessions. Regular parent training and consultation sessions are also provided to ensure consistency and success both at home and school.
3. Is ABA Therapy effective? How long does it take?
Research consistently demonstrates that ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. The effectiveness is often seen in improved communication, social skills, academic performance, and reduced challenging behaviours. The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, the complexity of goals, and the amount of practice time available outside of sessions (at home and school). Treatment plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted, and progress is measured over time.
4. My child might be overwhelmed or resistant to therapy. What can you do?
We understand that starting therapy can be daunting for children. Our therapists are trained to be sensitive to a child's feelings and are skilled in building rapport and trust. We employ techniques to make the therapy process engaging and less intimidating. We focus on creating a positive and supportive atmosphere, allowing the child to guide the pace and become comfortable with the therapist over time. Our goal is to make learning fun and rewarding, minimizing distress and maximizing engagement.
5. Do you accept insurance? What is the cost?
Insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies widely by provider and plan. We work with many extended health benefit plans and can provide the necessary documentation and coding required for insurance claims submission. We also strive to be transparent about our fees and can discuss potential payment plans. It's best to contact us directly at (778) 608-2398 or visit our website https://aba-therapy.ca/ to discuss your specific situation and coverage options.
