What We Do

Applied Behavior Analysis uses the science of behavior to make meaningful changes in the lives of those we serve.  We examine how the environment impacts a person's responding to different things going on in their lives. We use evidence based methods to increase the adaptive behaviors and decreases the problem behaviors. An ABA program has many working components including skill acquisition goals and behavior or barrier reduction goals. These goals are created by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst after meeting with and assessing a child's needs.  The direct instruction involves the BCBA or RBT working directly with the client to implement the treatment program.  This is the one-on-one time that the client will spend with the analyst or technician. During this time, the staff implements the programs and goals that have been decided on by the team.  ABA focuses on generalization of tasks once they are learned.  For this reason, sessions are structured to increase responding in the natural environment, or through play. During sessions, problem behavior reduction is a focus and strategies are implemented with fidelity. This service can be provided in the home, school, or community.  At Complete ABA, we believe in supporting the client where they need it most.

Family involvement is an integral part of an effective ABA program.  At Complete ABA, we strive to include family in all portions of a child's program.  Parent goals are created to increase generalization of learned skills.  This is accomplished by meetings with parents and/or caregivers to review progress and create new family goals.  Parents are also involved in training sessions with the child present to train on behavior management or skill acquisition.  During this, our staff ​models and gives feedback to parents interactions.  Parents are an essential component to any ABA program. We strive to make parents feel heard and valued in all we do.

Our team will work with teachers and school staff to help meet the child's needs in their educational setting.  We will work to assist with behavior management strategies in the classroom to increase age appropriate skills and decrease behaviors that may interfere with learning.   By working with teachers, we can help our clients meet IEP goals quickly by training teachers on ABA methodologies.
