Frequently Asked Questions

Will my child be working at a table for the ABA therapy?

No! You name the place, ABA’s been done there; floor, playground, pool, gym, dentist, bathroom; hey, even under a bed!

Will my child become robotic and rigid from ABA therapy?

No, not if therapy is administered properly.
A major focus of therapy is to overcome the behavioral rigidity present in individuals with ASD. Responses to behaviors may be overly simplified in the beginning to gain a starting point, and therefore “robotic” but those skills are eventually built up and transferred to naturalistic settings in a functional manner

Will my child ever be able to stop therapy?

Yes, in many cases. When desired progress is achieved, and no new goals are pinpointed, your BCBA can develop a titration plan in which a roadmap is outlined to slowly wean your child off of therapy.

What’s the difference between an ABA therapist and a BCBA?

An ABA therapist is an individual who uses the science of ABA to influence behavior through therapeutic interventions. BCBA, orBoard Certified Behavior Analyst, is an ABA therapist with a masters level degree who is certified specifically by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. A BCBA often will plan out and oversee all aspects of a child’s therapy.
