ABA THERAPY

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses basic behavioral principles to teach age-appropriate skills and reduce harmful or challenging behaviors. ABA Therapy helps develop language, social interactions, self-care, independent living and other aptitudes. It's core methodologies build on the child's skills and further develops capabilities. This is done by understanding the child's motivations, triggers to responses/behaviors, what maintains the response/behavior and knowing when and how to break down goals into tasks they can accomplish.

Beyond Borders believes that every child can learn the necessary skills to be successful. In order to help them reach their full potential, each child must have an individualized treatment plan and goals based off direct assessments, observations, and parent interviews. These goals are based on skill deficits and or barriers that are impeding with the child's ability to learn within their natural environment.

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

A method in ABA Therapy used help children acquire new skills. DTT breaks skills down into small steps, which build upon each other to help the child attain the skill. This helps a child gain repeated exposure and practice, while ensuring that they achieve success. The goal is to always generalize these skills into the child's natural environment.

Natural Environment Teaching (NET)

Providing services in the a natural setting can make it easier for a child to generalize the skills and behavior to other settings. We use this method depending on the child's individual needs and learning style.

Comprehensive ABA Treatment

This type of intervention addresses a wide range of critical developmental skills, such as communication, social, and attention skills, rather than focusing on only one skill area. This approach allows children to make gains across a variety of developmental domains. A comprehensive plan may be long-term and occur in multiple settings. 

Focused ABA Treatment

Focused ABA interventions might take place over a brief period rather than long-term. This approach has specific targets and often requires fewer hours of services. It helps children learn replacement behaviors and may include adapting the environment to reduce the likelihood of any challenging behaviors.
