Applied Behavior Analysis

Preferred Kid Services stands as a premier provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, committed to prioritizing the well-being of your family and child. Our clinical journey commences with the expertise of our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), who conducts thorough Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) employing observation, interaction, and standardized assessments. Subsequently, a tailored treatment plan is crafted to address the unique needs, environments, skills, interests, and behaviors of your specific child.

Numerous children, spanning diagnoses such as Autism, ADHD, and conduct disorder, often manifest challenging behaviors like property destruction, tantrums, or self-injury. ABA therapy becomes a transformative tool, guiding them toward appropriate forms of communication, and imparting the words and skills integral to their personalized treatment plans.

Our approach to ABA therapy is designed to involve families actively in the selection and approval of their children's therapy. Meaningful growth and positive change flourish when families engage in the daily community and family life of their child. To facilitate this, we allocate dedicated hours for training sessions, empowering families to play a vital role in the success of their child's treatment plan.

WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?

Lets us walk you through the process. 

Not sure where to start? We know how overwhelming all this can be, which is why our team is here to make this a seamless process for your family and child.

Step One

1- Consultation & Documentation Retrevial

Call us or                                         and an Intake Coordinator will guide you through the process. We discuss your childs strengths, challenges, and typical behaviors and what treatment setting your family needs. We go over documentation requirements, and what documents Insurance mandates.  Once all the required documents are retrieved we review the clinical documentation such as the ABA referral and evaluations and work directly with your Insurance for a
pre-authorization for an evaluation.

Step Three

Step Two

 2- Assessment & Development of the Treatment Plan

Once the insurance approves the initial assessment, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will do a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and observe and interact with your child to note behaviors, as well as conduct other standardized assessments. Based on the FBA, a treatment plan will be made specifically for your childs goals and needs. We will walk you through the treatment plan, and once parent approved, submit it to your insurance for acceptance.

Step Four

 4- Reevaluation to Assess Progress 

Board Certified Behavior Analysts are constantly evaluating your child's progress and adapting strategies in the treatment plan, as therapist gain more insight to your child, their behavior, and environment. BCBA gage the data and continuously make  changes if needed to drive results to help your child thrive. A reassessment take place every six months to monitor your childs treatment plans progress, and effectiveness. Your BCBA will discuss the assessment with you and upon approval will again be sent to your insurance for approval.
3- Implement the Treatment Plan with Patient therapy & Parent Training

Based on an Analyst built treatment, parent approved, and insurance company accepted plan, your BCBA and Behavior Technician will partner with your family to schedule the recommended hours and begin implementation of treatment immediately. Insurance allocates hours for parent training. These trainings will be crucial in meeting your child's growth and accelerate and reinforce  their treatment plans. The parent trainings helps families adapt and practice new skills and behaviors your child is learning. We are in this together.
Home
Engaging in therapy within your child's natural environment offers valuable insights for the therapist, enabling a more precise focus on essential behaviors relevant to their everyday life. The active participation of parents, siblings, and other family members plays a pivotal role in the success of your child's goals. Your involvement in training becomes instrumental in supporting consistent practice between treatments, contributing significantly to the reinforcement and compounding of positive results.
School & Daycare
Providing therapy within a structured setting, where your child adheres to a routine and curriculum, offers invaluable support for achieving their treatment goals. This environment not only facilitates additional practice but also enhances their social and communication skills as they interact with peers and teachers within the school setting.
Community
A community-based setting stands out as a highly advantageous environment for ABA therapy. This is particularly true if the child thrives in a less structured and controlled setting or if maladaptive behaviors frequently manifest in community surroundings. Additional time spent in these natural settings proves beneficial, contributing to their ongoing success.
