Most children with ASD require intensive ABA therapy for the best gains and to improve their skills and behaviors. At ICAN-B, we strongly believe that the intensity (e.g., hours) of ABA therapy should be based on the child’s needs. In other words, some children might need more hours of ABA therapy and some children might not. Many factors come into play when determining the intensity of ABA hours for your child. A number of assessment tools might be used in our FBA interviews, for example:
Your child’s functioning level
Severity of challenging behaviors
Age
Child’s availability
Family availability.
1) Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT), which commonly known to be a more structured type of teaching approach and
2) natural environment teaching (NET), which commonly is seen as a looser and play-based type of teaching approach. DTT is a teaching approach developed by behavior analysts basing on the principles of Behavior Analysis. It breaks skills down into short and simple tasks to make the learning process easier and faster for the child. On the other hand, NET is also a teaching approach that is developed basing on the principles of Behavior Analysis. However, the focus of NET is to utilize naturally occurring opportunities or to contrive teaching opportunities in the child’s environment to achieve teaching purposes.
