What skills does ABA focus on?
ABA therapy can help children develop many important skills, including:
Communication and language
Social interaction and play
Daily living skills (dressing, hygiene, routines)
Emotional regulation
Attention and learning readiness
Independence
Each therapy program is individualized based on the child’s strengths, needs, and family goals.
How is progress measured?
ABA therapy is highly data-driven. During sessions, therapists collect information about the child’s progress so the supervising BCBA can monitor outcomes and adjust goals when needed.
What is a BCBA?
A BCBA is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. They are a highly trained professional who designs and oversees a child’s therapy program.
The BCBA begins by assessing the child’s strengths, needs, and goals. Based on this information, they create an individualized treatment plan focused on building important skills such as communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and emotional regulation.
BCBAs also:
Monitor progress and adjust programs as needed
Train and supervise behavior technicians who work directly with the child
Provide guidance and coaching for parents and caregivers
Ensure therapy is effective, ethical, and tailored to the child’s needs
Their role is to make sure each child’s program is meaningful, evidence-based, and helping them make real progress.
How many hours of ABA will my child need?
The number of recommended therapy hours varies based on each child’s needs, age, and goals. Some children benefit from a few hours per week, while others may participate in more intensive programs. A comprehensive assessment helps determine the most appropriate level of support.
What is a BT?
A BT is a behavior technician. They are the team member who works directly with the child during therapy sessions.
Behavior technicians use the individualized program created by the BCBA to help children learn and practice new skills through structured activities, play, and everyday routines.
They help children:
Develop communication skills
Improve social interactions
Learn daily living skills
Build independence
Practice positive behaviors
During sessions, behavior technicians carefully track progress so the BCBA can monitor how the child is doing and make adjustments to the program when needed.
Will I be involved in my child’s therapy?
Yes. Parent involvement is an important part of ABA therapy. Caregivers often receive guidance and training so they can use strategies at home to support their child’s progress.
