Values
There are so many different styles of ABA. Each service provider has their own set of values and priorities and it can be hard to discern what’s best for your child.
These are the things most important to me:
teamwork between caregivers and service providers
making learning fun (see “The Learning Process” below)
building self-esteem and self-efficacy (see “Core Skills” below)
being creative in finding solutions that work
The Learning Process
PLAY
Learning should be fun and engaging and that is why I incorporate play into every session. By centering around your child’s interests we can build motivation and empower them to explore.
LEARN
Learning is hard but it doesn’t always have to be if you know how to do it. And when children have fun, there are more opportunities for them to learn and engage with their environment.
GROW
Once your child is equipped with foundational skills, their self-confidence will grow and it’s more likely that they’ll feel empowered to take the lead and explore the world with joy.
Core Skills
MOTIVATION
When your child is intrinsically motivated, they become eager and enthusiastic learners, embracing challenges with curiosity and determination. This inner drive propels them to explore their interests, build on their strengths, and overcome obstacles, fostering a lifelong love for learning.
INDEPENDENCE
Independence nurtures self-confidence and resilience, empowering your child to make their own choices and take ownership of their actions. With independence, they develop problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a sense of responsibility, enabling them to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and maturity.
LEARNING TO LEARN
Learning how to learn is a comprehensive skill that allows you to attend, understand, and filter information as well as display appropriate behavioral self-control. By becoming adept at learning, your child can continuously grow and adapt to changing circumstances, unlocking a world of opportunities and personal development.
