So...What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the scientific approach to understanding behaviors. Specifically, how behaviors change or are affected by environment, and how learning takes place to acquire or improve skills.

ABA Therapy is an effective treatment for many behavioral and developmental disorders and is the only proven treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods can be play-based and are fundamentally grounded in positive reinforcement, which makes the process of acquiring new skills and improving upon existing skills fun for any age group.

If you suspect your child may display signs and symptoms of autism, check out our Resources Page for helpful tools and what to do next. 

Getting Started with Wildflower Behavior Services

We are a practice that focuses on the individuals and families we proudly serve.

Step 1: Intake

Intake involves a comprehensive consultation with one of our BCBAs, during which your primary areas of concern are discussed. The BCBA will also illustrate how we can meet your family’s needs.

Step 2: Insurance Verification

Following consultation, we will determine your eligibility and help guide you through the insurance process. You’ll also fill out a Service Agreement.

Step 3: Treatment Plan

Your child will be assessed at home for their skills. Following completion, we write a report that includes our proposed treatment plan and review it with you.

Step 4: Treating
Your Child

Following your approval of the treatment plan, we begin treatment by sending a behavior interventionist to your home to provide your child with individual support.

Verbal Behavior Training

Definition:

Verbal Behavior Training teaches communication using the principles of ABA and the theories of behaviorist B.F. Skinner. Verbal Behavior Training focuses on motivating the learner to use language by connecting words with their purposes and creating opportunities to use words. The goal is to teach the learner that using words appropriately helps them obtain needed and desired objects, people and activities, make meaningful comments and reciprocally communicate rather than simply labeling objects. Verbal Behavior Training typically focuses on teaching the learner verbal operants (verbal skills) such as manding (requesting), echoics (exact imitations) tacting (commenting) and intraverbals (conversational skills).

Natural Environment Teaching (NET)

Definition:

Natural Environment Teaching (NET) utilizes the principles of ABA to teach within the natural environment of the learner. In NET clients acquire new skills through fun and reinforcing play activities. Goals are taught directly by inserting “trials” into natural and fun play. Many learners on the Autism spectrum have limited play skills so NET focuses on pairing clients preferred items and activities with new activities in an effort to expand the learner’s interests and teach new skills

Social Skills Training (SST)

Definition:

An evidence-based method that helps individuals with Autism understand and participate successfully in social situations.

Example:

A behavior technician (BT) is teaching a child how to greet another person when they first meet. The BT has chosen to show the child a video of the behavior being modeled. 

The BT will then mimic the video with the child until it is completed successfully. Successful completion is positively reinforced with a gesture (high-five), a toy, or the child’s favorite snack.

Picture Exchange Communication System® (PECS®)

Definition:

PECS® allows people with little or no communication abilities to effectively communicate using pictures. A child or adult with Autism can communicate thoughts, wants and needs, and anything else that can be displayed via an image.

Example:

There are 6 phases to any PECS® task:
  1. How to communicate: Single pictures for items or activities the individual really wants; like a toy or snack.
  2. Distance and persistence: Still using single pictures, the individual is taught to generalize the want or need in different environments and with different people.
  3. Picture discrimination: The individual learns to select from two or more pictures to communicate their favorite things.
  4. Sentence structure: The individual learns to construct simple sentences using an “I want” card/picture followed by a picture of the item they want.
  5. Answering questions: The individual learns to use pictures to answer the question “What do you want?”.
  6. Commenting: The individual learns to respond to questions using pictures. Sentence structures begin with I see, I hear, It is, etc.

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

Definition:

Breaking down a skill into smaller (discrete) elements. Each element is systematically taught by the behavior technician utilizing tangible positive reinforcement along the way.

Example:

A behavior technician (BT) is teaching a child colors. They begin by teaching blue. The BT asks the child to point to blue and rewards the child with a small toy. The BT then repeats this action with red, then yellow, and so on.
After the child successfully points to all colors individually, the BT will begin to teach the child how to say each color.
