Introduction
We understand that not all ABA providers work the same way, and it’s important for families to choose a provider whose values and approach align with their needs. At our Progressive Steps, we prioritize transparency to ensure you feel confident in your decision. Our approach to ABA focuses on creating trust, respecting your child’s individuality, and fostering meaningful growth in a supportive environment. This guide outlines how we implement ABA and can help you decide whether our services are the right fit for your family.
How We Approach ABA
1. Getting to Know Your Child
We begin by listening to you and your child. We learn about their preferences, strengths, and needs to create a personalized plan that feels safe and enjoyable for them. We pay close attention to how they communicate, ensuring their voice is heard and respected.
2. Building Trust
Trust is the foundation of everything we do. We create a space where your child feels happy, relaxed, and engaged by filling their sessions with activities and items they enjoy. Your child is encouraged to take the lead, shaping their experience in a way that feels comfortable for them.
3. Respecting Their Voice
We respond to your child’s communication, whether through words, gestures, or actions. We avoid forcing compliance, focusing instead on empowering them to express their needs and make choices.
4. Introducing New Skills
Once your child feels safe and confident, we gently introduce opportunities to practice essential life skills like communication, cooperation, and handling transitions. We adapt our teaching to their pace and interests, ensuring learning stays positive and engaging.
5. Adjusting Based on Feedback
If your child feels overwhelmed or frustrated, we pause and adjust. Learning should never feel stressful, and we prioritize positive experiences that help your child succeed without fear of failure.
6. Focusing on Growth
Over time, we help your child develop meaningful skills that enhance their daily life. These may include social interactions, emotional regulation, or independence. Our goal is to support your child in achieving a happy and fulfilling life.
