Transformative ABA Therapy Services

Your child’s BCBA can address the skills needed for independent eating. Their specialized training would result in a meeting with you to discuss your ideal outcomes with that goal. Then, using behavioral analytic strategies, the BCBA could put in the programs to work on that goal, such as gripping the spoon, piercing food with a fork, bringing the food to their mouth, etc., resulting in independent eating for their child.

If there are any instances where an occupational therapist would need to be consulted, Assent Therapy ABA will reach out to create the collaborative relationship your child deserves.

First, your team will meet to discuss YOUR expectations and personal boundaries with the tablet. We are here to work on your goals, respecting your beliefs, cultural values, and house rules. Your child’s BCBA will work directly with your child to try out different behavior analytic strategies to best support the family, then train your child’s RBTs on the strategy being used.

Communicating strategies (can include vocal and other forms of communication like picture icons/ASL, etc.) will always be utilized to promote your child’s growth. Additionally, the BCBA will collaborate with the family during the entire process to ensure you are satisfied and understand how to implement the strategies being used.

Parent coaching will be a dedicated time where we break down any strategies your team is using so you are also involved. This can ultimately result in a much happier parent-child relationship, allowing your family to be more prepared for future challenges.

Dangerous behaviors that your child engages in are always a top priority for Assent Therapy ABA. We will immediately begin working with your family to hear your concerns and bring potential solutions right to your family. Together, we can take steps to ensure your child is safe while working on long-term goals to build up your child’s safety skills. We can discuss your family’s goals, such as playing in a park without worrying about your child’s safety or going grocery shopping without fear that your child will dart away.

Some examples of goals that could be targeted would be:

• Your child stands with their caregivers, ensuring they can leave the house with grandparents, aunts/uncles, older siblings, etc.
• Asking to go run rather than just darting away. This can be shaped to teach your child what they can and can’t do.
• Holding the adult’s hand when in a parking lot.
• Holding on to the shopping cart so you can safely look at the shelves while shopping.
