Helping Children Meet Their Full Potential Faster
“If they can’t learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn.” – Quote by the late O. Ivar Lovaas, clinical psychologist.
Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy has been around for years and has helped thousands of people on the Autism spectrum. We have listed the top reasons on why ABA has proved to be an effective medium of therapy for the Autistic community.
Here are some top reasons why ABA is the most effective therapy choice:
Integration with Family System – ABA envelopes the family and caregivers into the therapy. This ability to incorporate loved ones plays a crucial role in its effectiveness. The therapy can be extended beyond the clinical setting and into other aspects of the person’s life. It is possible for a person who is not an ABA therapist to apply its principles at home or any other setting. Parents & caregivers can impart the skills to their children at home.
Backed by scientific evidence – Its effectiveness has been proved by a large body of scientific evidence that backs its results. It has shown benefits to people with a range of conditions. ABA therapy is regarded as an evidence-based best practice treatment by both the US Surgeon General and by the American Psychological Association.
Scales with client progress – Its ability to scale from small tasks to larger ones as the client benefits from continuous therapy makes it popular and effective in the Autism community.
Progress that is quantifiable – ABA enables the quantification of the therapy and its outcomes. The collection & quantification of data enables the behavior analysts to analyse the efficacy of the therapy, with scope to make changes/modifications to the therapy, leading to desired results.
Personalised therapy – ABA is customized to meet the requirements of each client based on their unique needs, challenges, and situation. This is one of its greatest strengths and makes it so effective. It can also be combined with other forms of therapy such as DBT or CBT.
ABA therapy can transform the lives of people on the spectrum and their families. The road to success starts with an early diagnosis coupled with the start of therapy right away.
