Applied Behavior Analysis Services

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy helps children learn skills that make everyday life easier and more meaningful. It focuses on understanding why behaviors happen and using positive support to teach communication, social skills, independence, and emotional regulation. ABA therapy is individualized to each child and family, meets children where they are, and builds on their strengths - helping them succeed at home, in school, and in the community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Different ABA Services at Lotus

Community-Based ABA

Community-based ABA can happen anywhere from playgrounds to day cares to grocery stores! Anywhere that your family needs support in teaching and reinforcing the skills necessary for success in each individual environment.

Daycare-Based ABA

Daycare-based ABA therapy brings individualized support directly into your child’s daycare or preschool environment. A trained therapist works alongside your child during their normal daily routines - like playtime, circle time, meals, and transitions - to help build communication, social skills, and independence in a natural, supportive setting. This approach helps children practice real-life skills with peers while staying engaged in the environment they already know and enjoy.

Parent Training

Parent involvement and training are an essential part of ABA therapy. When parents are active participants in their child’s treatment, the child is more likely to be successful. Parent training helps your child generalize their skills – taking the skills they are learning in the therapy center to their home, school, and community. During parent training sessions, we focus on providing you with knowledge on behavioral concepts and strategies to maximize your child’s success and improve the quality of life. These sessions are customized to meet the needs of your family and child. We work together to help you with your child on things such as communication, self-help skills (e.g. getting dressed and potty training), social skills, and addressing problem behaviors.

In-Home ABA Therapy

In-home applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism and other developmental disorders consists of highly flexible and versatile programs that supplement or replace facility-based care. Comprehensive therapy is full-time, 30-35 hours per week, aiming to target early intervention during the crucial years of language and social development. Home-based ABA therapy allows children with special needs to work on social and life skills that are priorities to the family.

After-School ABA

This program provides services based on the principles of applied behavior analysis at a lower intensity than the early intensive behavioral intervention program. The need for structured discrete trial intervention within this type of program is likely low and collaboration with other service providers (e.g., the child's school) is necessary to ensure consistency across settings. Priorities usually include social skills, executive functioning, organizational skills, community participation, and/or self-help/daily living skills.

Skills Assessment

Measures specific skills which constitute a designated curriculum. The skills measured are quantifiable and measurable and can be used to document baseline and skill acquisition. The results of the assessment are used to establish priorities and the most effective intervention program.
