ABA Behavior Consultation
At InBloom Autism Services, your ABA journey begins with a behavior consultation. Let’s explore what a consultation is all about and the many benefits it can offer you and your child.
Understanding ABA Behavior Consultation
An ABA behavior consultation is a valuable opportunity that can open up new horizons for your child and provide you with valuable knowledge, ideas, and a plan for success.
The Role of the Consultant
Children on the autism spectrum face unique needs, strengths, and challenges. Having an advocate who understands autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and can provide support and guidance to children with autism and their families is critical. This is where an ABA behavior consultant like a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) comes in.
Our InBloom BCBAs are an invaluable resource and advocate who can help you navigate your child’s journey of ABA therapy, choose the right resources, and create a plan to optimize your child’s future.
Key Components of ABA Behavior Consultation
Let’s explore some key aspects of a behavior consultation.
Assessment and Goal Setting
During an in-person assessment, a BCBA spends time interacting with your child and getting an understanding of their skills, needs, and challenges. This will enable them to form a holistic assessment of your child’s unique situation.
As a parent or caregiver, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss goals for your child with the BCBA. This collaborative process ensures the best therapy plan is created just for your child.
Intervention Strategies
BCBAs are highly skilled in understanding and choosing the best ABA intervention strategies for each child. This involves the personalized combination of therapy techniques that can help your child learn and grow. At InBloom, a wide variety of ABA therapy techniques are used, each offering key benefits. These include incidental teaching, Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), task analysis, and many more. Like tools in a toolbox, a variety of intervention strategies gives our BCBAs a wealth of options to best meet the unique learning needs of each child.
Home Integration
Continuity is key when it comes to effective ABA therapy. Ensuring your child continues their progress outside of therapy is important for their growth and success. Through a behavior consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss strategies to help foster your child’s learning outside of therapy times. Families and caregivers have a vital role in helping children grow and bloom, and our BCBAs can offer you the tools and coaching you need.
Benefits of ABA Behavior Consultation
A behavior consult offers many important benefits for you and your child:
- Understanding: As a parent or caregiver, you can get a better understanding of your child’s strengths, developmental needs, and areas for potential therapy.
- Planning: A BCBA can create and share a roadmap of what ABA therapy may look like for your child and how it can help your child build essential life skills.
- Advocacy: Having someone in your corner can make all the difference. A BCBA is there for you and your child as an advocate and resource.
