PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) is a behavior profile involving extreme, anxiety-driven avoidance of everyday demands due to a strong need for control.

Are you a caregiver of a child with PDA? We’re currently gauging interest in a potential workshop and would love your input!

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in attending, let us know at TakeRootABA.com on our interest form.

Your feedback will help us shape what comes next!

🎒📚 Back to School Tips 📚🎒

Heading back to school can be exciting — and overwhelming — for kids and families alike. Here are a few tips to help make the transition smoother:

✅ Start the Routine Early
Begin waking up, eating meals, and going to bed at school-year times before school starts. Predictability helps reduce anxiety!

✅ Use Visual Schedules
Help your child know what to expect each day with a visual routine. It builds independence and reduces uncertainty.

✅ Practice School Skills at Home
From opening lunch containers to raising your hand, practicing daily school tasks can build confidence before Day 1.

✅ Talk About Emotions
Help your child name and understand their feelings about going back to school.

Wishing all of our students, families, educators, and fellow BCBAs a smooth and successful first day of school! ✨🎉

Emotional regulation is a foundational life skill.

When kids (and adults) learn to manage their emotions, they build healthier relationships, improve focus, reduce anxiety, and make better decisions — in school, at home, and beyond. ✅

Here’s a quick guide to teaching emotional regulation effectively:

✨Identify Triggers & Patterns: Notice what situations spark strong emotions. Patterns reveal what needs attention and support.

✨Teach Emotional Awareness: Give emotions names. Use visuals, stories, or check-ins to help identify what they’re feeling and why.

✨Introduce the Zones of Regulation: Use the color-coded zones (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red) to help them recognize emotional states and talk about them safely.

✨Develop Coping Strategies: Breathing exercises, sensory tools, movement breaks, journaling are all great tools to teach.

✨Reinforce Positive Behavior: Praise efforts to self-regulate. Celebrate small wins. Emotional regulation is a skill that takes time to grow.

Small steps. Big impact. Let’s raise emotionally intelligent humans. ❤️

April is National Autism Acceptance Month
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜

It’s about more than just awareness - it’s about acceptance.

Acceptance means listening to autistic voices, honoring and affirming all forms of communication, challenging the idea that “neurotypical” is better, creating inclusive environments, and accepting autistic individuals as they are.

Happy World Autism Awareness Day!

What is Precision Teaching?

A method used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that relies heavily on tracking progress and data to measure and analyze behavior. Precision teaching provides an objective understanding of behavior changes over time.

Precision teaching ...

- Breaks down behaviors into measurable components

- Collects data to track progress over time

- Analyzes data to understand how skills are retained and applied

This information is then used to inform the therapy.
