ABA Therapy - Home Based V/S Center Based Therapy
Are there distinctions in the effectiveness of ABA therapy based on location?
​
You might be aware of the efficacy of applied behavior analysis (ABA) in treating autism in children. However, when considering ABA therapy locations, you might question whether home-based ABA therapy surpasses center-based ABA therapy, or vice versa. Sensational Kidz Therapy Services offers both home-based and center-based ABA therapy, recognizing the unique advantages of each setting.
*Currently, we are exclusively enrolling children for In Center ABA Therapy only.

Understanding the benefits of different ABA therapy locations
​
Autism impacts various aspects of a child's life, so ABA therapy should be adaptable across different environments. By offering ABA therapy in multiple locations, the treatment team at Sensational Kidz can address diverse concerns effectively.
​
Home-based therapy allows therapists to deliver treatment within the familiar setting of the child's home, while center-based therapy offers a structured environment within our centers. Each location provides distinct benefits. Despite the differences in locations, two aspects remain consistent: your child will receive highly effective, evidence-based ABA therapy from our skilled team, and you will actively participate in the treatment process. At Sensational Kidz Therapy Services, we believe that involving the family is integral to the success of ABA therapy.
​
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the application of the principles of learning and motivation from Behavior Analysis, and the procedures and technology derived from those principles, to the solution of problems of social significance.
Many decades of research have validated treatments based on ABA. ABA methods are used to support persons with autism and other developmental and/or intellectual disabilities in following ways:
-
To increase behaviors (e.g., reinforcement procedures increase on-task behavior, or social interactions);
-
To teach new skills (e.g., systematic instruction and reinforcement procedures teach functional life skills, communication skills, or social skills);
-
To maintain behaviors (e.g., teaching self-control and self-monitoring procedures to maintain and generalize job-related social skills);
-
To generalize or to transfer behavior from one situation or response to another (e.g., from completing assignments in the resource room to performing as well in the mainstream classroom);
-
To restrict or narrow conditions under which interfering behaviors occur (e.g., modifying the learning environment); andTo reduce interfering behaviors (e.g., self-injury or stereotype).
Developing an individualized treatment plan
​The treatment professionals at Sensational Kidz know that each child has unique needs. You will work with your child’s therapist to determine the best therapy environment for him or her. Our goal is to treat the children who walk through our doors with a customized ABA treatment plan designed to help them become happy and productive members of their families, communities and world.
