IN-HOME THERAPY

Home / aba programs / in-home therapy

SBC offers in home therapy in the following locations: Crestview, Niceville, and Oak Harbor location. Parents report unwanted behaviors seen in the home setting and we seek to provide a comprehensive program.

Communication

Through Applied Behavior Analysis, children gain functional language skills (using language to request, using language to label, etc.) In the early stages of their language development, children are taught to ask for, name, imitate, and more, starting with the most fundamental wants and needs (simple nouns). After achieving the early learning objectives, language is taught more complexly, combining nouns with verbs and adjectives while maintaining a function-based approach. Children develop conversational skills, social skills, and independence as their language development continues.

 

Individualized communication programming is created after conducting the VB-MAPP and other relevant communication exams.

 

The various verbal operants used in peer-to-peer talks are usually taught during sessions in a discrete, 1:1 environment using verbal behavior training. The following basic verbal operants are being targeted:

  • Echoics: Repeating Sounds
  • Manding: Requesting Items
  • Tacting: Labeling Items
  • Interverbal: Answering Questions
  • Listener Responding: Following Direction

Self-Help Strategies

A child’s ability level for various self-help skills is assessed using the Assessment for Functional Living Skills and other comparable tests. To effectively teach the steps in the skill, customized task analyses and teaching methods are created.

Task Analyses Simplify Complex Abilities Into A Straightforward And Simple-To-Learn Approach.

To make sure the talent is being learned properly, each skill-building step’s progress is recorded. The level of assistance the child receives is gradually reduced via prompt hierarchies until independence is attained for each phase of the skill.

Behavior Management

Reward-based strategies, as opposed to punishment-based ones, are used by ABA therapists in behavior management therapy to reduce undesirable behaviors that might be interfering with a child’s capability to learn or form lasting relationships.

Preventative Strategies

In order to prevent undesirable behaviors by controlling environmental triggers, strategies include using daily routines, teaching kids to express their desires and needs appropriately, providing regular breaks, offering alternatives, and blending instructional assignments.

Reinforcement Strategies

To improve the possibility of recurrence in the future, strategies include rewarding appropriate behaviors through verbal praise, social praise, and a variety of reward systems. To ensure that the reinforcement system is successful in motivating desired behaviors, preference assessments may be used to identify the person’s strong motivators.

Management Strategies

In order to reduce the likelihood of inappropriate behaviors recurring in the future, therapist use antecedent and consequent-based strategies. Antecedent Interventions are preventative strategies used to modify the environment before it happens. Consequence strategies occurred implemented after the behavior occurs.
