ABA programs are often intensive, with children spending 20 to 40 hours each week (on average) working with a Behavior Technician (BT). While it will take some adjustment, starting ABA therapy as early as possible can help your child develop cognitive, social, communication, and daily living skills that are foundational to their growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">ABA therapy is an <a href=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/aba-therapy-basics\" rel=\"noopener\">evidence-based autism treatment<\/a> that is tailored to the unique needs of each person. Before starting ABA therapy, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will assess your child\u2019s specific developmental needs and create a personalized treatment plan. Every ABA treatment plan is different, allowing therapists to target behaviors and skill deficits that are most relevant to your child\u2019s long-term development. An ABA treatment plan could include one or more of the following goals:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Decreasing \u201cmaladaptive\u201d behaviors, including self-harm, biting, hitting, and aggression<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Improving personal hygiene and daily living skills, such as dressing and toileting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Accelerating the development of verbal and non-verbal communication skills<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Building independence and flexibility when daily routines are disrupted or changed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Increasing socialization and relationship building with other children<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\">Chances are, you already have a good idea of the specific skills and behaviors your child&#8217;s ABA treatment plan will focus on. Communicating these goals to your BCBA is a great way to break the ice when starting ABA therapy, as it can help them get a full picture of your child\u2019s needs, abilities, and growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1649349682357_59658\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready\" data-aspect-ratio=\"57.934782608695656\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13697\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13696\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\">\n<figure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13695\" class=\"sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13694\" class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13693\" class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2278\" src=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girl-whispers-to-boy-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"949\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girl-whispers-to-boy-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girl-whispers-to-boy-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girl-whispers-to-boy-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girl-whispers-to-boy-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girl-whispers-to-boy-2048x1638.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girl-whispers-to-boy-15x12.jpg 15w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1649349682357_60027\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<h2><strong>Starting ABA Therapy: The First Step<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">One of the first things you\u2019ll want to consider when starting an ABA program is where therapy sessions will be held. Some families choose to host ABA therapy in the comfort of their own homes, which can help children feel more comfortable and secure. Other families prefer to get ABA treatment through an Autism Therapy Center, whether because of a busy work schedule or to allow for more opportunities for their children to socialize with peers their own age. Regardless of which option you prefer, your child will receive the same level of ABA treatment, personalized care, and developmental support.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Home-Based ABA Therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/home-based-therapy\/\">Terapia ABA domiciliaria<\/a> allows your child to receive treatment in real-world environments they\u2019re already familiar with; it\u2019s also the only environment where ABA therapists can practice daily living skills and personal hygiene. Another benefit of home-based ABA is that it enables parents to schedule therapy sessions outside of normal work hours, leading to more consistent and flexible coordination of care (no pick-ups or drop-offs). There\u2019s no travel time, no fighting traffic, and no emergency midday calls from the Autism Therapy Center about disruptive behaviors.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Center-Based ABA Therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/our-centers\/\">Terapia ABA en un centro<\/a> allows for greater access to group therapy, social activities, and other in-person events. Autism Therapy Centers also have an entire team of mental health experts on hand that can work with and understand the specific needs of your child. Since parent attendance isn\u2019t required, your child can receive ABA treatment during normal weekday work hours. What\u2019s more, your child\u2019s center-based ABA therapy can be enhanced by scheduling at-home ABA sessions on weeknights and weekends. In fact, many parents prefer a hybrid ABA treatment model that utilizes both home- and center-based therapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1649349682357_52874\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready\" data-aspect-ratio=\"50.54347826086957\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13706\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13705\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\">\n<figure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13704\" class=\"sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13703\" class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13702\" class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2279\" src=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/child-writing-in-a-notebook-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"954\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/child-writing-in-a-notebook-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/child-writing-in-a-notebook-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/child-writing-in-a-notebook-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/child-writing-in-a-notebook-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/child-writing-in-a-notebook-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/child-writing-in-a-notebook-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1649349682357_53277\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<h2><strong>Common Questions About Starting ABA Therapy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Along with sorting out the scheduling and logistics of your ABA therapy plan, you should also set aside time to learn about <a href=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/what-makes-aba-therapy-different-from-other-autism-therapies\/\" rel=\"noopener\">what makes ABA therapy different<\/a> and unique.

ABA therapists gather detailed information about your child\u2019s behavior, developmental milestones, and other key factors to help determine the severity of their ASD diagnosis and to build a personalized treatment plan. Since each ABA treatment plan is tailored to the individual, the length and frequency of therapy sessions will be unique to your child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There\u2019s often no easy answer about how many hours of ABA therapy your child will need. Children with more severe ASD diagnoses typically require more hours per week over a longer period of time. In many cases, recommended ABA therapy hours are determined by criteria laid out in the <em>Diagnostic and Statistical<\/em> <em>Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/iacc.hhs.gov\/about-iacc\/subcommittees\/resources\/dsm5-diagnostic-criteria.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>DSM-5<\/em><\/a><em>).<\/em> In terms of a standard range, most children with autism who are treated using ABA therapy receive anywhere between 25 to 40 hours per week over a period of one to three years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Behavioral and skill improvements through ABA therapy are often gradual, requiring consistent effort and practice over a sustained period of time. And since your child\u2019s treatment plan is personalized and constantly evolving, the work isn\u2019t finished once they\u2019ve overcome a particular challenge or behavior. Many of the goals have overlapping behavioral components, meaning therapists can build off previous lessons\/successes to further accelerate skill retention and behavioral improvements. The reality is that without a high number of therapy hours per week, often over a span of several years, some lessons learned through ABA won\u2019t stick around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">To learn more about how ABA therapy hours are calculated, check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/iacc.hhs.gov\/about-iacc\/subcommittees\/resources\/dsm5-diagnostic-criteria.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">useful Parent Guide<\/a> from Autism Speaks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Does Insurance Cover ABA Therapy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Yes, most insurance providers cover ABA therapy services for children diagnosed with autism, including Medicaid in select states. However, every state and insurance company has its own rules and regulations concerning ABA therapy, so it\u2019s important to do some digging before you sign up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Luckily, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) created this handy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asha.org\/Advocacy\/state\/States-specific-Autism-Mandates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insurance coverage explainer<\/a> that offers a ton of detail about state-specific coverage mandates for ABA therapy.

Studies have shown that early, intensive application of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bacb.com\/about-behavior-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABA therapy can help children<\/a> overcome developmental delays, behavioral challenges, social deficits, and more, as noted by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). Repetition, routine, and practice are essential to achieving positive results through ABA therapy, in part because of how lessons and skills are taught.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">While there are a wide variety of techniques and strategies in use today, two stand out as fundamental to <a href=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/how-outcomes-are-measured-using-aba-therapy\" rel=\"noopener\">ABA best practices<\/a>: <strong>Entrenamiento de prueba discreta (DTT)<\/strong> y <strong>Pivotal Response Training (PRT)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Entrenamiento de prueba discreto<\/strong> is the method of building behavioral habits by breaking them down into separate parts rather than introducing entire concepts all at once. This allows your child to learn beneficial \u2018micro habits\u2019 through repetition, which can be assembled into more complex concepts and built upon over time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Pivotal Response Training <\/strong>is play-based and initiated by the child.

Since skills and concepts are often broken down into their smallest parts, you can find all sorts of creative ways to weave them into your child\u2019s daily routine. For example, if your child is working on social skills, hosting a group activity at your home can help them practice sharing, peer-to-peer communication, and relationships building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Keep in mind, retention and consistency are essential to long-term results, so continuing the principles of ABA outside of therapy can make a huge difference. When parents are active and engaged, they can continue applying ABA techniques and methodologies outside of therapy to further accelerate improvements. Knowing <a href=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/aba-therapy-basics\" rel=\"noopener\">how ABA therapy works<\/a> and why therapists interact with children in certain ways gives parents greater insight into how autism impacts development and what they can do to help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">At Applied ABC, parents will regular training from their assigned BCBA about the specific developmental challenges their child is facing, along with the techniques they can use to support their child and overcome resulting disruptions. Since the parent training is personalized, there\u2019s no general curriculum that applies to every family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1649349682357_58329\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13724\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13723\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\">\n<figure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13722\" class=\"sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13721\" class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_13720\" class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2281\" src=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mother-communicates-with-aba-therapist-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"941\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mother-communicates-with-aba-therapist-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mother-communicates-with-aba-therapist-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mother-communicates-with-aba-therapist-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mother-communicates-with-aba-therapist-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mother-communicates-with-aba-therapist-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mother-communicates-with-aba-therapist-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 941px) 100vw, 941px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1649349682357_57163\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<h2><strong>Prepping For Your First ABA Therapy Session: Parent Tips and Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">When starting ABA therapy, your BCBA will set up an initial assessment to aid them in creating a personalized treatment plan based on observations of your child\u2019s behavior and overall level of functioning. From there, the BCBA will pass along this information to the assigned BT and will supervise the first session to ensure that the treatment plan is being followed. These \u2018supervision sessions\u2019 are paramount to your child\u2019s long-term progress because they offer you an opportunity to ask questions and get to know your BCBA and BT better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As a parent, one of the best things you can do is to ask lots of questions. The more questions you ask, the more you will know about the ABA therapy process. Observing ABA therapy sessions can also help you recognize and understand strategies used by the BT to communicate with and support your child. For example, understanding what triggers your child\u2019s tantrums and how often they occur can help you navigate future tantrums, reduce incidents of self-harm, and more. Simply put, learning how to apply ABA techniques yourself can lead to better long-term outcomes for your child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you\u2019re looking to take the next step in your ABA therapy journey, Applied ABC is here to help!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Our team of dedicated Intake Specialists and Case Managers will work with you to find the right ABA therapists for your family.
