Applied Behavior Analysis, commonly called ABA, is the science of behavior. ABA involves applying the principles of behavior, such as reinforcement and motivation, to name a few, to teach socially significant skills in real-world, everyday settings. ABA involves defining target behaviors, recording data on those behaviors, and analyzing the data to ensure treatment is always effective.
At The Puzzle Place, our Behavior Technicians work alongside our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to develop an ABA treatment plan that is most significant to your child and family. Each treatment plan is based on a comprehensive skills assessment, and each component is individualized to meet the child’s specific needs and motivations. Data is collected on each target behavior under a variety of conditions to ensure that real, generalized learning is occurring. The data is constantly analyzed, and changes are made to the treatment plan accordingly. Parents are an essential component of our treatment package. Therefore, aside from weekly parent training, all our ABA goals are entered into a cloud-based platform, Central Reach. Each parent is provided with a unique login and can track his or her child’s data and visualize their progress.
In each session, we aim to unlock the vast potential within every child, utilizing a playful yet structured environment. Our blend of engaging activities and ABA strategies is tailored to foster growth and learning. By focusing on each child’s individual needs and interests, we create a nurturing space where therapy feels less like work and more like play.
Our team of passionate and experienced professionals is committed to guiding your child through their developmental journey with empathy, expertise, and enthusiasm. Our approach reimagines therapy as an engaging adventure filled with play and discovery.
ABA therapy is grounded in decades of research and clinical practice. This evidence-based approach is designed to enhance positive behaviors and mitigate challenges, aligning individual behaviors more closely with age-appropriate expectations. ABA therapy is comprehensive, targeting a wide range of essential life skills, including communication, socialization, adaptability, feeding, and toilet training, among others. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each individual, promoting meaningful, sustainable, and, eventually, independent growth.
As professionals, we advocate for ABA therapy not only for its empirical backing but for the profound impact it has on the lives of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. It is a path marked by continuous learning, growth, and positive change, supported by a wealth of research and the collective expertise of the behavioral science community. Welcome to the realm of ABA therapy, where evidence-based practice meets individual potential to create a brighter future.
