ABA Therapy isn't just about behavior. It's about understanding the reason for the behavior and building skills that can improve daily life.

If you’re a parent in the modern world, you’re likely no stranger to the battle of the screens. Screen time can be a double-edged sword. While there can always be too much of a good thing, screens can also help keep a child engaged, support regulation, and provide educational opportunities. The problem seems to come when it’s time to shut it down for the day. This is a moment where many kids seem to go from zero to 100, bringing tears, aggression, or completely shutting down.

The Thanksgiving holiday is all about celebrating the things we are grateful for. While some express that gratitude loudly and proudly, it may look different for families who are navigating autism. In ABA Therapy, we strongly encourage celebrating even the small wins and being thankful for any sign of progress.

At Bloom Behavioral Healthcare LLC, our priority revolves around empowering your child to thrive in a way that feels and works best for them. Just as no two people are the same, no ABA therapy plan looks the same either. We take the time to assess your child’s strengths and challenges - and then work together with you to create reasonable goals to work toward that take those into consideration. 

Holidays, including Halloween, can be a daunting time for children with autism. Suddenly, they are inundated with new sights, sounds, and activities that often include changes in their typical routine. It’s perfectly okay to sit out any activity that is more stressful than exciting. However, if your child is interested in participating, there are ways to play ahead and incorporate ABA strategies that make things less stressful and more fun while building important skills.

When researching and discussing Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), you’ll likely run into the same terms over and over.
