Applied Behavioral Analysis
We accept Medicaid and Private Insurance
Applied Behavior Analysis focuses on teaching children skills they need to be successful in their home, school, and community. Skills worked on may include social/emotional skills, cognitive skills, daily living skills, and others.
Once your child receives a diagnosis, it's imperative that treatment begins as soon as possible.
Together, we can work with both parents and children to learn a variety of techniques to navigate the challenges that are presented.
Cognitive Skills
Cognitive development is all about how you learn and think. It's not just memorizing facts, but understanding the information so it can be put to use in your everyday life.
Understanding cause and effect
Visual discrimination, matching
comparing, sorting, and organizing
Developing an increased attention span
Problem solving
Simple reasoning
Understanding fact & fiction (or the difference between a truth & a lie)
Asking questions
.
Daily Living Skills
Self care skills are the everyday tasks undertaken to be ready for daily life activities. As children age, they should develop independence in these important areas of their lives.
Toileting and washing
Brushing teeth and brushing hair
Feeding oneself and safely swallowing
Dressing, managing buttons, laces, and zippers
Showering/bathing
,
Social & Emotional Skills
Children are learning to talk about their feelings and the feelings of others. Social-emotional development, however, involves more than just expressing emotions.
Developing friendships with other children and healthy relationships with adults
Creating a positive personal identity (liking oneself and building confidence, for example)
Participating and engaging in learning
Regulating one’s own behavior and emotions
Developing a working memory, curiosity for the world, and persistence
