Professional ABA Services in Miami
With our ABA services, Miami residents get evidenced based methods that produce lasting, meaningful change.
What Is ABA Therapy?
ABA Therapy is a field of behavior analysis based on the science of learning and behavior in real life environments. It aims to increase behaviors that are adaptive in social environments and decrease behaviors that hinder learning of adaptive skills, giving us more clues to how behavior works and why we behave certain ways in certain situations. You can learn more about how it works here.
Benefits of the various types of ABA Therapy that we offer include: improved social skills, a better ability to focus, concentrate, and engage; and decreased behavioral problems.
ABA Teaching Formats:
Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
This type of teaching is most fundamental in ABA Therapy. Therapist and child work on learning smaller components of larger skills. Once smaller components are taught, they are chained together to create larger, more complex skills. Many times, this type of teaching occurs at a table or in a quiet area providing opportunities for focus and repetition.
Natural Environment Training (NET)
In Natural Environment Training, skills learned in DTT settings apply to the natural context. Depending on a child’s skill level, a combination of teaching methods, DTT and NET, can be used at the same time to achieve best treatment outcomes.
Generalization of Skills
This process teaches children to apply learned skills to other people and settings. This is an essential course of treatment. We find children with Autism often need assistance transferring and performing learned skills to caregivers and/ or the community.
