Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is learned and how it can be changed. It focuses on the relationship between a person's behavior and the environment. ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement to teach new skills and reduce challenging behaviors, aiming to improve socially significant behaviors across various settings.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy help my child?
ABA therapy helps children by breaking down skills into smaller, manageable steps and teaching them through positive reinforcement. This can lead to improvements in areas such as communication (verbal and non-verbal), social interaction, academic performance, play skills, self-care (like dressing and feeding), and emotional regulation. The therapy is tailored to the individual child's needs and goals.
Q3: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and the family's commitment. Research indicates that intensive ABA therapy (often 20-40 hours per week initially) for at least 1-3 years yields the best outcomes. However, therapy is an ongoing process, and children may continue receiving support or maintenance sessions as they grow and face new challenges.
Q4: Does insurance cover ABA therapy?
Coverage for ABA therapy varies widely depending on the insurance provider, plan details, and the child's diagnosis. Many extended health benefits plans, particularly through WorkSafeBC or similar provincial workers' compensation boards, offer coverage for ABA therapy. Some private insurers also provide coverage. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your plan's specifics regarding ABA therapy coverage. We can also assist you in understanding your benefits and navigating the claims process.
