ABA Therapy at InBloom Autism Services

When looking for resources for their children, parents and caregivers are often left scratching their heads, wondering what the next step is. Generally, if you’ve observed any signs that may potentially point to autism in your child, the next step is to schedule a diagnostic evaluation. We’re proud to offer diagnostic evaluations in select service areas to help families jumpstart their path to treatment. Should a diagnosis lead to treatment including ABA therapy for autism, InBloom Autism Services is conveniently located in 7 states with multiple locations to serve your family’s needs.

ABA Explained

What is ABA Treatment and Therapy?

Everyone learns differently, and we all have our own goals. This is part of what makes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy so effective!

Our clinicians continually collect and analyze data about your child’s behavior to create individualized treatment plans with the goal of increasing helpful behaviors and skills, and decreasing not-so-helpful behaviors––those which pose a safety risk or interfere with learning and independence. Having access to real-time data allows the clinical team to adapt treatment plans to meet your child’s needs as they continue to grow and make progress.

ABA treatment services and therapy at InBloom are based heavily on naturalistic teaching methods. It might look like we’re just playing and having a blast (and we are), but our talented clinicians work in countless learning opportunities throughout the context of play and other preferred activities. During therapy sessions, your child will work on a variety of different skills such as communication, social, play, and much, much more!

How can Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy help?

Expressive and Receptive Language skills are considered in the autism therapy treatment plans at InBloom.

Expressive & Receptive Language

Any form of communication sent out by an individual is Expressive Language. And, Receptive Language is how we intake or understand that communication.

While examples of Expressive Language include exchanging pictures or using a communication device, examples of Receptive Language include following directions, identifying items, or understanding actions.

Behavior Reduction at InBloom Autism Services helps by identifying unwanted or negative behaviors and reducing frequency by replacing these with positive behavior reinforecment.

Behavior Reduction

Once we determine the purpose behind a targeted behavior, our clinicians teach children functional communication or another appropriate behavior as a substitute. Then, behavior reduction for undesirable behaviors naturally occurs. To accomplish this, our InBloom Autism Services Clinical Team provides individualized positive reinforcement-based treatment plans specific to each child.

Functional Communication skills at InBloom Autism Services include requesting access to an item or activity, asking for help or a break, and requesting attention.

Functional Communication

Teaching alternative behaviors and methods of communicating to replace undesired behaviors is part of important therapy at InBloom Autism Services. Thus, children get their needs met in an appropriate manner. Basic examples of Functional Communication skills include requesting access to an item or activity, asking for help or a break, and requesting attention.

InBloom Austism Services ABA Therapy increases children's focus and motivation so they can complete tasks. We prioritize work on prerequisite skills needed for success in a classroom setting.

Academic Readiness

Some children have a tough time focusing on learning new skills. So, InBloom Autism Services ABA therapy and treatments are designed to increase focus and motivation. So kiddos can complete tasks. This way, we prioritize work on the prerequisite skills needed for success in a classroom setting.

At InBloom, kiddos have the advantage of working on social and group skills with peers at the same developmental levels.

Social and Group Skills

There are so many social and group skills to work on, and so many ways to work on them! First, initiating and maintaining communication is the goal. Second, comes turn taking, problem solving, sportsmanship, following the rules of a game, cooperative play, and working towards a common goal. And, at InBloom, kiddos have the advantage of working on these skills with peers around the same developmental levels.

Toilet Training and Daily Life Skills can be fun to learn at InBloom Autism Services!

Toilet Training & Daily Living Skills

Many kiddos have a difficult time with potty training. So, we turn up the excitement and have a party in the bathroom to make the process fun! Further, InBloom’s Clinician Team work on potty training in a variety of ways, including visual aids, stories, and positive reinforcement.

And, it doesn’t stop there! Our clinicians take a similar approach to teaching kiddos how to wash hands, get dressed, brush their teeth, and many other skills that help build independence.

Children progress more rapidly toward goals when parents are actively involved in their therapy. We love to help families and caregivers!

Caregiver Training

Children progress more rapidly toward goals when parents are involved in their therapy. For that reason, caregiver ABA coaching is done directly with your BCBA and allows parents to continue making progress at home. We love our families and the connection we create together!

What You Can Expect

Is ABA Autism Therapy right for my child?

Research has shown that our minds are most impressionable between the ages of 1 and 5. For this reason, early intervention (obtaining ABA therapy for autism at an early age) is key in ensuring your child is given the tools needed to develop meaningful skills that will prepare them for the classroom and every-day life. Our Care Team takes pride in walking each family through the ABA treatment process so that parents and caregivers can feel at ease knowing that they have a strong network of support dedicated to the growth and success of their kiddo.

Though each family comes to us at different points in their journey, here is a timeline of notable milestones you can expect to reach between your first conversation with us and the start of your child’s services.

Each child has their own individual and unique journey through autism therapy.

What You Can Expect

What can I expect from ABA treatment?

ABA Therapy for autism is a marathon, not a sprint. Therefore, consistency is key in maximizing each child’s success.

After assessing your child’s skills and needs, our clinicians develop a treatment plan typically ranging from 20 to 40 hours of care per week in a learning center. Once therapy begins, your kiddo’s network of support balloons in size, and most critical to their development is the relationship between their biggest advocates: you and their ABA team! See below for more information on how everyone can work together to best support your kiddo!

My daughter absolutely loves it!

We are so grateful for finding InBloom! I was shocked when she made more progress in her first 3 weeks at InBloom than she did the entire time at the other facility. On top of that, the entire staff is so wonderful and communicates with us on every little step. I can't recommend them highly enough!

The staff are so kind and so patient.

He’s only been going for 3 months and has already learned so much. Dad and I can definitely tell he’s learning and picking up on things he’s being taught. He’s always excited to go to “InBloom School.” He even asks on weekends. I highly recommend it.

My son is so happy here!

Every interaction I've had there with anyone at all has been a pleasant one. It's always scary to leave my son somewhere the first time but the way he is eager to go back the next day instantly made me feel at ease. Everyone is so compassionate and I can already see slight changes in how he carries himself. I definitely recommend this Learning Center.

A career that leaves a positive lasting impact!

The most enjoyable part is seeing all of your effort paying off. When you can hear a child say something or even SING something, when they can't speak at all or in anything other than baby talk, is the most rewarding thing ever.

Caregivers are an essential part of our team.

Board Certified Behavior Analysts

BCBA

BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts) create the treatment plan which is then put into practice by RBTs (Registered Behavior Technician), so having a transparent, open line of communication with your BCBA is vital to your kiddo’s progress. Your BCBA also facilitates Caregiver Training sessions; structured one-on-one time for discussing your kiddo’s goals and development as well as practicing skills and techniques that will allow you and your family to continue making progress at home and in the community.

Registered Behavior Technician

RBT

Your RBTs are the ones who will be working directly with your kiddo and providing the treatment as outlined by the plan set by your BCBA. RBTs provide you with feedback and updates after each session, so be sure to continually discuss any improvements or challenges with them and the BCBA so the team can have all of the necessary information when considering the ABA Therapy treatment plan that will best suit your child’s needs.

Anyone Providing Care

Caregiver

We ask that all caregivers remain engaged in their child’s course of therapy, as your involvement is crucial to their progress. Ultimately, the clinical team’s goal is to see that your child meets their goals and is able to utilize the skills in-center, at home, and across all other environments. Aside from ongoing Caregiver Training sessions, keeping in communication with your RBTs and BCBA about successes, challenges, and general observations greatly boosts the efficacy of your kiddo’s ABA Therapy.
