What should I expect in ABA Therapy?

When starting ABA therapy, families can expect a structured and individualized approach tailored to their child's unique needs. In Colorado and Texas, the process typically begins with an initial assessment conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This assessment helps identify specific goals and challenges to address during therapy. Sessions may take place in various settings, including the home, school, or clinic, and can involve one-on-one interactions or group activities. Parents and caregivers are often encouraged to participate in sessions to reinforce skills learned during therapy. Throughout the process, data will be collected to track progress and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Families can expect regular communication with their therapy team to discuss advancements and any concerns. Overall, ABA therapy is designed to be a collaborative and supportive experience for both the individual and their family.
