ABA Information

PBS offers individual and group therapy sessions to children exhibiting challenging behaviors that hinder their learning and social interactions. Our tailored programs effectively address attention deficits, language difficulties (Verbal Behavior), and deficient social skills. Additionally, we specialize in managing excessive behaviors such as crying, tantrums, aggression, and fidgeting, often associated with conditions such as Autism (ASD), OCD, ADD, ADHD, and Down Syndrome.

 ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a systematic approach that breaks down skills into small, structured tasks. It emphasizes differential reinforcement, where therapists, parents, or caregivers learn to reward desired behaviors while addressing and discouraging inappropriate ones. Integral to a successful ABA program is the ongoing collection of data to monitor progress, allowing for adjustments based on a child's improvements. ABA covers a wide range of skills, from reducing tantrums and improving sleep patterns to promoting proper toy play, functional communication through language, and age-appropriate social interactions.

At PBS, we highly value and encourage parent input in your child's program. Our clinical programs are developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Clinical Supervisor, ensuring that your child receives expert guidance. We deeply appreciate your insights and strive to incorporate as much of your family's feedback as possible while still adhering to the assessment we use. We believe in the importance of compassion and naturalistic teaching methods, which are integral to our approach. These methods allow us to create a program tailored to your child's unique needs, building upon foundational skills with an emphasis on both complexity and generalization.

Your input plays a significant role in shaping your child's program, ensuring that it aligns with your family's goals and values while leveraging evidence-based practices to support their development.

• At PBS, we prioritize open and collaborative communication with parents. We understand the importance of addressing your needs and questions while fostering a sense of collaboration. To achieve this, we host regular weekly meetings with a dedicated focus on meeting parents' needs and concerns. The timing of these meetings is tailored to your child's program to ensure relevance and effectiveness. These meetings serve as a valuable platform for discussing your child's individualized program, including their overall progress and the skills that will be taught in the future.
• During these sessions, we actively seek your feedback and encourage you to share any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child's program. Your input is integral to the success of our collaborative efforts, and we are committed to working closely with you to support your child's growth and development.
