🌟 Attention ABA Families! 💫
With so many choices out there in the valley, how can you make sure your kiddo gets the absolute best care? There are clinics, home setups, school programs, full-time, part-time—you name it! And don't get us started on scheduling and those dreaded waitlists. It's a lot to handle!
After waiting ages for a diagnosis, and then forever for an open slot with a provider, how do you know if what you've got is really hitting the mark? Switching things up is a gamble and could end up costing your family valuable time.
But hold on! Before you jump ship, let's take a good look at what you've got going on already. Why not start by giving our quiz a whirl? It might just shed some light on things!
❓Does your child's BIP prioritize "ignoring the behavior, NEVER ignoring the child"?
❓Has your child experienced multiple BCBA changes in the past year?
❓Does your child frequently show distress during ABA sessions (more than 20% of the time)?
❓Are there goals in your child's treatment plan focused on increasing compliance or decreasing self-stimulatory behaviors?
❓Do unfamiliar therapists conduct your child's sessions regularly
❓Are session notes filled with vague descriptions like "pairing" and "playing in the gym"?
❓Have you ever felt pressured to meet session or hour requirements you felt excessive (I’m looking at you, 30-40 hours per week!)
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, it may be time for a change. Effective ABA should bring positivity and progress. Here's what you should experience:
✅ Detailed explanation of assessments and goals every 6 months - BEFORE you sign anything.
✅ Your child excited for therapy sessions.
✅ Access to and understanding of every session note.
✅ Awareness of your child's activities during all ABA sessions.
✅ Visible progress towards family goals in 6 months.
✅ Immediate and thorough responses to your therapy inquiries.
✅ Direct 1:1 interaction between your child and their BCBA, weekly.
✅ Family sessions with your BCBA weekly.
✅ Reasonable treatment hour recommendations that allow for robust family time and letting kids be kids, without sacrificing progress.
