ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE 4 AUTISM

ABA is used to either increase or decrease any behavior. As a discipline, ABA providers are focused on the improvement of socially important behaviors such as speech or communication, social skills, academics, reading and adaptive living skills such as gross and fine motor skills, daily living skills like toileting, dressing, eating, personal self-care, domestic skills, and work skills. 

Parents play an essential and critical role in the child’s treatment plan because no one knows the child better than the parent; they provide critical and insightful information that will help guide the ABA therapists. Parents are able to continue to prompt and reinforce the child through daily activities – an important part of generalizing skills. Lastly, parents are in a position to be able to record and track ABA data in a home setting. This information is so important for finding the “why” of specific behaviors as well as for seeing what conditions encourage those behaviors to happen..
