💡 Tip Tuesday 💡

Consistency is one of the most important building blocks in ABA therapy. When the same strategies, expectations, and language are used across home, school, and therapy, skills are more likely to generalize and last over time.

Simple things—like using the same prompts, reinforcement systems, and routines—can make a big difference in a learner’s progress. Collaboration between caregivers and providers helps create a supportive environment where learners feel confident, motivated, and successful.

Small, consistent steps today lead to meaningful growth tomorrow 💙

ABCs of ABA: V is for Verbal Behavior 🗣️

Verbal behavior is a branch of ABA that focuses on teaching functional communication. It looks at how and why we use language, helping children learn to request needs, label items, answer questions, and engage socially in meaningful ways.

🥧 It’s National Pie Day!

Just like a pie has many slices, every small step counts in your child’s ABA journey. Each skill learned, every effort made, and every success—big or small—is a slice of progress toward independence, confidence, and growth.

Today, let’s celebrate every slice and honor the hard work and dedication that make meaningful progress possible. 💙

Thursday Thought 💙

Progress doesn’t always come in big moments—it’s built through small, meaningful steps taken every day.

In ABA, we focus on teaching functional skills, strengthening communication, and celebrating each child’s individual growth. Every trial, every success, and every effort matters.

💬 Communication looks different for every child. Our latest blog, Building Communication with Nonverbal Children, explores evidence-based strategies that help children express wants, needs, and feelings in ways that work best for them. Every voice matters, whether spoken, signed, or supported by devices.

It’s National Hugging Day 🤍
In ABA, we prioritize teaching safe and appropriate ways to show affection while always respecting personal boundaries and consent. We recognize that every child is unique, and not all children are comfortable with physical affection—and that’s okay.

Our goal is to help children learn how to communicate their comfort levels, understand social cues, and express connection in ways that feel safe and meaningful to them. Whether that connection is shown through a hug, a high-five, a wave, or simply shared time and attention, each form of connection is valued and respected.

Every child deserves to feel secure, understood, and supported in ways that work best for them, and we are proud to foster an environment built on trust, respect, and compassion. 🤍

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision of equity, compassion, and justice continues to inspire us all.

In ABA therapy, we strive to uphold these values by advocating for inclusion, dignity, and meaningful opportunities for every child we serve. Just as Dr. King believed in empowering individuals to reach their full potential, we are committed to supporting our learners through individualized care, patience, and evidence-based practices.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today and every day, we reflect, serve, and lead with purpose. 💙

Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his message of equality, kindness, and service. We’ve created a child-friendly social story to help families teach the importance of compassion, fairness, and respect.

🎉 Fun Friday in ABA! 🎉

Learning can be fun and meaningful—especially at home! Fridays are a perfect time to turn play into learning while practicing important ABA skills like following directions, requesting, labeling, and turn-taking.

🧩 Simple At-Home Activity: “Toy Hunt”

Hide 3–5 favorite toys around the room

Give simple directions: “Find the car,” “Put the ball on the table,” “Bring me the teddy”

Encourage your child to request help or items (“Help please,” “I want the car”)

Take turns finding toys to practice waiting and turn-taking

Label items together (“Car,” “Ball,” “Blue bear”)

✨ Parent Tip: Keep it light and fun! Offer lots of praise, claps, or a small reward for effort—not just perfection.

Fun moments create learning opportunities every day 💛

💡 Positive reinforcement is one of the most effective tools in ABA therapy — and it’s built on one simple idea:

➕ Behaviors that are rewarded are more likely to happen again!
When a child completes a task or uses a new skill, we celebrate that success — with praise, high-fives, stickers, or their favorite activity. 🎉

Positive reinforcement helps children build confidence, stay motivated, and enjoy learning!

At Essential Speech And ABA Therapy Richmond , we believe every effort deserves recognition — because every child deserves to feel proud of their progress. 💙
