To be effective, family and child support needs to have structured therapy along with day-by-day coaching and successful collaboration. In Washington, our ABA therapy programs are designed to assist families, schools, and communities so that they can develop supportive systems through which children thrive. From one-on-one in-home therapy to group training and workshops, we create evidence-based, loving, and child-tailored programs.
Below, we’ll explore the range of services offered, how they work, and why they are essential for children’s developmental progress and family well-being.
In-Home Therapy
Home therapy is probably the most successful model of individualized ABA service delivery. Children learn best in the comfort of what they are most accustomed to, where activities learned can be transferred directly to living situations. Our board-certified therapists visit your home in Washington and offer one-on-one therapy aimed at enhancing communication, social skills, autonomy, and behavior control.
Advantages of home therapy are:
- One-on-one therapy given in public or common areas in a relaxed setting.
- Integration of the therapy into daily routines such as mealtime, play, or sleep.
- Parent/caregiver access to observe and join therapy sessions.
- Using what is learned immediately in living skills.
This service provides the child with regular, individualized treatment promoting long-term growth.
School Setting
Kids are with us for much of the day, so the school setting is a great place to learn and develop. Our Washington school-based ABA therapy assists the students and teachers alike. We are actively working closely with teachers, administrators, and support staff to make sure that each child receives everything they need to be successful academically and with their interpersonal skills.
School-based services may include:
- Individualized behavior intervention plans.
- Classroom assistance to enhance concentration, interest, and peer social interaction.
- In-service teacher training and special education practice.
- Educator-families partnership goal-setting.
Through assistance to children in schools, school learning is not only maximized but also self-esteem, social integration, and supportive peer relationships.
Parent Coaching
The most significant work in child development is performed by caregivers and parents. Parent coaching provides parents and families skill, awareness, and confidence to promote the growth of their child between therapy sessions. In Washington, our parent coaching remains earthy, flexible, and responsive to every family’s context.
The essential elements of parent coaching are:
- Mastering ABA skills for solving problem behavior.
- Constructing routines that enhance communication, self-sufficiency, and socialization.
- Direct instruction on the reinforcement of the desired behaviors in the home setting and community.
- Regular guidance and feedback to enable changing strategies as the children develop.
Parents are instructed to become active partners in their child’s development in order to enable everyday practice of the targets in therapy.
Collaboration
Collaboration is the key to success in therapy. There is no single approach that works independently—success is obtained through effective collaboration among families, therapists, teachers, and physicians. Our Washington ABA therapy relies on open communication and planned coordination.
We work together by:
- Creating coordinated treatment plans home, school, and community.
- Providing reports to parents and teachers.
- Working with medical care physicians, speech pathologists, and occupational therapists if necessary.
- Promoting consistent practices everywhere for long-term success.
Collaboration allows children to be treated equally by all those who care for them, allowing for the maximum effectiveness in therapy.
Workshops and Group Trainings
Aside from individual services, workshops and group training offer wonderful means of training, improvement in skills, and socialization. These training workshops are held with parents, teachers, and professionals wishing to learn more about ABA principles and successful techniques.
Our Washington workshops can include:
- Classroom and home management of behaviors.
- Group and child social skills training and interventions.
- Parent/caregiver support and stress reduction.
- Teacher and therapist professional development.
Through the development of an experiential learning environment, workshops and training establish common experience, networking, and experiential knowledge that can be applied on the job.
