What is Applied Behaviour Analysis?
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding and changing behaviour. It involves systematically applying evidence-based, compassionate interventions that are directly derived from the science of learning and human behaviour. ABA therapy aims to improve socially significant behaviour in the home, school and community settings. ABA therapy also decreases severe or challenging behaviour that endangers health and safety and thereby limits educational or community experiences. ABA improves lives in a measurable and meaningful capacity. It is well researched, and widely accepted to be one most effective treatments for individuals with autism and other related developmental diagnoses.
Our Approach: Trauma-Informed Compassionate Care
At InspireKids Centre for Child Development, we prioritize delivering therapy that is compassionate and centred around natural interactions that emphasize the items, activities and experiences that bring joy to our clients and their families. We listen to all of our clients and families so that we consistently maintain safe, relaxing therapeutic environments that promote learning, tolerance and cooperation. We work from a perspective that acknowledges the history and experiences that have shaped our clients and value establishing a trusting, safe and enriching relationship. Each of our treatment plans are individualized to foster treatment progress and build skills suited to the unique needs of each child and family. We believe that empowerment and skill development go hand in hand and we are with you every step of the way on that journey.
Our Process: Seamless Collaboration
We prioritize establishing a therapeutic alliance between families, their child and the therapy team. The therapeutic alliance refers to the collaborative and trusting relationship between the therapy provider, the family and the child. This treatment approach has been empirically proven to enhance treatment success. At the heart of our process is an initial intake assessment and interview with primary caregivers. We collaborate closely to understand your family's current needs, challenges, and aspirations. Our next step involves conducting a thorough functional behaviour assessment or analysis to uncover the root causes behind any barriers your child may be encountering or the causes for challenging behaviour. We believe parents know their children best and we value the role of parents by emphasizing informed consent, understanding and empathy. Throughout your child's ABA therapy sessions, our focus remains on ensuring that the skills taught are effectively generalized and maintained across various settings and situations important to your child and family.
