What is Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy?
New Summit Behavioral Therapy understands that every child is unique and requires a specialized, tailored treatment approach. We collaborate closely with both the child and their family to develop a treatment plan designed to address their specific needs, promoting functional gains. We believe that early intervention is crucial, but also recognize the importance of allowing children to simply enjoy being children. Our approach balances intensive intervention with naturalistic teaching strategies to ensure a holistic, supportive environment for growth.
​
Parents play a pivotal role in their child's therapy journey. At New Summit Behavioral Therapy, we partner with parents to create individualized treatment plans and provide guidance on ABA principles, ensuring the successful integration of therapy across all aspects of the child's life.
ABA is composed of:
Evidence Based
We are committed to using only evidence-based practices that have been proven to be effective in the field of ABA. Our treatment approaches are grounded in research and clinical best practices to ensure the best possible outcomes for the children and families we serve.
Early Intervention
We specialize in early intervention, providing services to children ages 18 months to 7 years with an autism diagnosis. Our focus is on offering tailored, evidence-based treatment to help children develop essential skills during these formative years.
Intensive
ABA is an intensive therapy designed to meet the individual needs of each child. Therapy hours are customized, with services typically ranging from 5 to 35 hours per week, depending on the child's specific needs.
Online Data Collection
Each learner will have an individualized treatment plan with specific goals. Progress for each goal will be monitored through electronic data collection, which allows for ongoing analysis and adjustments as needed throughout therapy.
Naturalistic
Utilizes ABA principles within the learner's natural environment, integrating therapy into everyday occurrences. This approach promotes the generalization of skills and encourages natural skill development by applying learning in real-life situations.
Discrete Trial Instruction
DTT is a systematic instruction style within ABA that breaks down skills into smaller, repetitive steps to facilitate learning. Each step is taught individually, with clear instructions, prompts, and reinforcement to help the learner master the skill.
