BRH ABA values serving clients with dignity and respect. We prioritize socially significant treatment goals and emphasize strong supervision, staff and caregiver skills training, and professional oversight. We aim to improve the quality of life for every client and their loved ones.
Applied Behavior Analysis, often referred to as ABA, is a scientific approach that uses environmental modifications to influence behavior positively. This evidence-based practice has been proven effective in teaching new skills and managing undesirable behaviors. While ABA therapy is commonly recommended for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, it has also shown significant benefits for other populations.
ABA therapy can address a broad spectrum of skills. These include expressive language skills, enabling individuals to communicate their thoughts and needs more effectively; listening and responding skills, which help in understanding and reacting to instructions or conversations; and play skills, which are crucial for a child's development and learning.
ABA also covers social skills, essential for interacting and building relationships with others; toileting, dressing, and grooming skills, which are vital for personal hygiene and self-care; eating and sleeping routines, which contribute to overall health and wellbeing; and independent living skills, which equip individuals for self-sufficiency.
In essence, ABA is a comprehensive approach to improving various aspects of an individual's life, enhancing their ability to learn, communicate, and interact effectively with their environment.
The journey with our ABA services is initiated with an intake interview and a comprehensive assessment. This process allows us to gather essential information about the client's clinical history, strengths, areas needing improvement, and aspects that significantly affect their daily life.
A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and/or a Board-Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) will work closely with the client and their caregivers. Together, they will identify goals and devise a tailored treatment plan that best suits the client's needs.
The delivery of our services is as unique as each client, varying based on their age, skills, and specific requirements. In most scenarios, one or more Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) will work directly with the client on a one-on-one basis, usually within the comfort of their home.
The RBTs' work is closely supervised by a BCBA and BCaBA, who monitor the client's progress, make informed decisions about the ongoing treatment, and assist caregivers in implementing ABA principles and interventions throughout the client's day.
We strongly encourage caregivers to be actively involved in the interventions, both during sessions and in everyday settings. This active participation ensures that the benefits of ABA therapy are maximized, leading to the most significant possible impact on the client's life.
