First Week of ABA Therapy

Your first week of ABA Therapy will be filled with new people, new terminology, and new skills for your Buckaroo. Your child’s day will be packed with learning opportunities and fun experiences, to build a strong foundation for their future growth at AAC. Our staff of highly trained technicians will take the time to find your child's favorite things. We know motivation is key to getting the most effort and skills out of your buckaroo week after week, so we will use their favorite things to keep motivation flowing. 

Your child’s BCBA will also begin by gradually adding in targets to be trained. These targets are tailored to your child’s individual skills and deficits, found in their initial assessment with us. We know this will be a big change for you as a parent so you will have regularly scheduled meetings with a BCBA to bring you into the world of ABA and get all your questions answered. You and a BCBA will also talk about big goals you have for your child and the steps it will take to accomplish them in the weeks and months to come. 

The ABA process will unlock skills and opportunities that changes lives. It will not always be easy. We are asking you and your child to work harder than ever and in different ways, but it will be worth it. We cannot wait to see how your family will explode with new skills in the first week and beyond at AAC!
