Autism Therapy Services
At Blue Jay ABA, our mission is to guide your child to transformative success and happiness through our unique and highly effective ABA therapy services.
What Is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic approach rooted in behaviorism, a field of psychology that explores how a person’s environment influences their behavior. ABA focuses on building brain networks essential for sensory processing, motor function, cognitive abilities, communication, self-care, and social-emotional skills.
Through targeted interventions, ABA helps individuals develop these skills and ensures they can generalize them across different settings and contexts. This means that children can apply what they learn in therapy to various aspects of their daily lives, enhancing their overall development and adaptability.
What are the goals of ABA Therapy?
The goals of ABA therapy are tailored to each individual's needs and are established through a comprehensive assessment, followed by a personalized treatment plan. Some of the main goals of ABA therapy include:
- Greater independence in daily living skills, such as dressing and brushing teeth.
- Improved expressive communication, including using more complex language and enhancing conversational skills.
- Enhanced receptive communication skills, such as following requests and answering questions.
- Improved social skills, including having conversations, sharing, taking turns, and understanding social cues.
- Increased safety skills and awareness.
Our skilled ABA therapists can conduct sessions in various settings, including your home, school, and the community, ensuring that the therapy is practical and effective.
