Children with Autism Spectrum disorder can have a difficult time cultivating meaningful relationships and communicating with their peers in effective ways. This is not because neurodivergent children do not want to have meaningful relationships, rather, children on the spectrum perceive the world differently and may struggle with disruptive behaviors that impact their ability to cope in social, academic, and personal situations.
Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, or ABA therapy, is regarded as the most effective form of therapy for Autistic children. With the goal of minimizing ineffective behaviors and growing certain social skills, ABA therapy can arm children with the tools and strategies needed to thrive in nearly any environment.
But not all types of ABA therapy are the same. In-home ABA therapy is a form of one-on-one therapy that takes place in your home using the tools and reinforcers that are currently present in your environment.
While other forms of ABA therapy, such as center-based ABA therapy, are effective in teaching children certain skills, in-home ABA therapy provides a natural environment for your child to pratice and develop certain skills. Some of the specific skills that behavioral analysts target through in-home ABA therapy include:
- Self Care Skills such as bathing, grooming, toileting, etc.
- Social Skills such as eye contact, body language, empathy training, etc.
- Language Development such as learning how to effectively communicate needs, etc.
- Behavioral Skills such as reducing maladaptive behaviors, appropriate coping skills, etc.
- Play & Leisure Skills such as sharing toys, taking turns, sportsmanship, etc.
Note that every in-home ABA therapy plan is different and depends on your child’s specific goals and objectives.
