Comprehensive ABA Therapy
IABAI provides comprehensive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to individuals with autism spectrum disorder and related developmental needs. Comprehensive ABA treatment addresses multiple areas of functioning and may include communication, social skills, adaptive and daily living skills, play and leisure skills, learning readiness, independence, and the reduction of behaviors that interfere with learning, safety, or quality of life. Treatment is individualized based on assessment results and medical necessity and utilizes evidence-based, data-driven ABA procedures consistent with the seven dimensions of applied behavior analysis. Services are delivered by qualified Behavior Technicians under the ongoing supervision and direction of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Treatment plans include measurable goals, ongoing data collection and analysis, caregiver involvement and training, and regular assessment of progress to guide treatment decisions.
Focused ABA Therapy
IABAI provides focused Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to individuals with autism spectrum disorder and related developmental needs who require treatment targeting a limited number of specific behavioral or functional concerns. Focused ABA may address areas such as challenging behavior, communication, social skills, adaptive functioning, independence, or other identified treatment needs. Treatment is individualized based on assessment results and medical necessity and utilizes evidence-based, data-driven ABA procedures consistent with the seven dimensions of applied behavior analysis. Services are delivered by qualified Behavior Technicians under the ongoing supervision and direction of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Treatment plans include clearly defined and measurable goals, ongoing data collection and analysis, caregiver involvement and training as appropriate, and regular evaluation of progress.
ABA breaks down skills into discrete tasks that are taught and structured systematically. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on using positive approaches to increase skills and decrease problem behaviors, all with the goal of helping individuals strengthen relationships and function as independently as possible in their home and community.
