Early Intensive intervention is Key! Clinical research has demonstrated that children who start ABA therapy as early as possible raise the most significant improvements in their areas of deficit. Children who received early intensive ABA therapy progressed to being self-sufficient in distinct areas.

Behavior analysis is a natural science whose subject matter is individual behavior interacting dynamically with the physical and social environment. All aspects of ABA interventions must be customized to the strengths, needs, preferences, and environmental circumstances of each individual client and their caregivers and must be flexible to accommodate changes that occur over the course of treatment. Individualized treatment is a defining feature and integral component of ABA, which is one reason why it has been so successful in treating Autism Spectrum Disorder. Treatment for some clients may be focused while others may be comprehensive to treat the multiple affected developmental domains, such as cognitive, communicative, social, emotional, and adaptive functioning as well as maladaptive behaviors. We use standardize behavior assessments such as Vineland and BASC-3.

Focused ABA Treatment Refers to treatment provided directly to the client for a limited number of behavioral targets. It is not restricted by age, cognitive level, or co-occurring conditions. Focused ABA plans are appropriate for individuals who (a) need treatment only for a limited number of key functional skills or (b) have such acute problem behavior that its treatment should be the priority.

Comprehensive ABA refers to treatment of the multiple affected developmental domains, such as cognitive, communicative, social, emotional, and adaptive functioning. Maladaptive behaviors, such as noncompliance, tantrums, and stereotypy are also typically the focus of treatment. Although there are different types of comprehensive treatment, one example is early intensive behavioral intervention where the overarching goal is to close the gap between the client’s level of functioning and that of typically developing peers. These programs tend to range from 30-40 hours of treatment per week (plus direct and indirect supervision and caregiver training). Initially, this treatment model typically involves 1:1 staffing and gradually includes small-group formats as appropriate. Comprehensive treatment may also be appropriate for older individuals diagnosed with ASD, particularly if they engage in severe or dangerous behaviors across environments.

The recommended hours for this type of therapy generally fall between 10 to 40 hours per week depending on the medical necessity of your child. The number of recommended hours for your child will be determined by our clinical team after your child’s assessment when the treatment plan is developed.
