ABA Therapy | Child and Teen Autism Therapy

Why Achievement Balance

Therapy that Empowers Families and Children to
Move Mountains!

We gradually show the child how to assimilate into a group of people with a common interest, living in one place. It all begins with the sense of community we foster at Achievement Balance.

Achievement

We developed a proven formula that is goal oriented, based upon incremental achievable targets. We know successful results are achieved through hard work no matter how small the task. We celebrate achievement, each tiny step along the way, because it is the foundation that develops confidence, self-respect and self esteem

Balance

We promote the concept that each day is a balance of judging, deciding and regulating actions and thoughts. Balance creates emotional stability and produces an even distribution of aesthetically pleasing elements. This is especially important for mental and emotional steadiness where opposing forces are equal to one another

Community

We gradually integrate the child into a community because this is the ultimate goal for success; the child needs to feel comfortable within the community and the community needs to feel comfortable with the child. The child will learn and understand subtle social interactions and the positive benefits of brotherhood, camaraderie and fellowship.

Approach

Therapy Approach

Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA Therapy, uses scientific principles of learning and motivation to effectively teach. It focuses on the idea that the consequences of what we do affect what and how we learn.

ABA seeks to improve specific behaviors while demonstrating a reliable relationship between the procedures used and the change in the child’s behavior.

Therapy Approach

Discrete Trial Training

Discrete Trial Training focuses on teaching a skill in structured, simple steps, where skills are broken down and taught individually and then “built-up” one step at a time.

Pivotal Response Treatment

Pivotal Response Treatment® is a highly acclaimed research-based intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). PRT® is a naturalistic intervention model derived from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). PRT was created by Drs. Robert and Lynn Koegel.

Natural Environment Training

Natural Environment Training is an ABA approach in which teaching trials happen within the natural environment. This approach focuses on a child’s immediate interests and activities and uses these motivators to guide the session.

Self-Management Training

Self-Management Training is used to help children increase their independence and generalization skills without requiring the help from a caregiver, teacher or parent. This technique provides instant feedback to the child so they are able to monitor their own behavior. The child is shown how to self-evaluate themselves, keep track and monitor their balance, and provide their own type of reinforcement.

Video Modeling

Children are shown videotapes depicting a variety of simple behavior scenarios such as play skills and personal interactions. This allows the child to see and digest everyday scenarios without personally being involved. This technique is an effective teaching method because it provides the child with a flexible, fun and stress free way to learn.
