ABA Learning Solutions "Behavioral Interventions for Children and Families Affected by Autism and Other Disabilities" |
| Frequently Asked Questions |
Q: What Assessment do you use?
A: ABA Learning Solutions uses the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS) to initially asses new
clients. This is a criterion based assessment based on verbal behavior by Sundberg and Partington which many
professionals use. The behavior analyst is also able to conduct other assessments on an individualized basis.
Q: What are the rates for services?
A: Please contact the behavior analyst for current rates for both the behavior analyst and behavioral therapists.
The rates for the behavior analyst reflect her experience and credentials. The behavior analyst will only bill for time spent
with your child/family (i.e. ABA sessions, parent sessions, training sessions, consultations, meetings). All other work such
as writing programs and updating the program book is covered in the time billed for sessions which the behavior analyst is
scheduled with your child.
Q: How many hours of therapy are optimal?
A: Typically 20 hours per week is optimal for young children 1-2 years old or children just beginning an intensive home
program. For children 2-3 years or older, 30 hours or more of services is optimal. Hours can be covered by the
consultant, behavioral therapists, parents, and/or other service providers (i.e. speech services). For more detailed
information see the ABA/General ABA Program Information section.
Q: How long do you recommend a home program is in place?
A: Typically an intensive program is in place for 2-3 years before a decision is made for a next step. For more detailed
information see the ABA/General ABA Program Information section.
Q: How often will the consultant see my child?
A: It is recommended that the consultant is scheduled with your child for a minimum of one session per week. This will
give the behavior analyst the opportunity to get to know your child, make the best decisions, and be there regularly to
make ongoing updates and decisions. ABA Learning Solutions is a small group so each client will get the attention they
need.
