Who Uses ABA Therapy
ABA therapy is a form of autism therapy that is often used to help children with autism spectrum disorder improve their skills. ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis, and this type of therapy uses principles of behavioral science to help people learn new behaviors or improve existing ones. ABA can be very effective in helping children with autism learn and grow. But what about adults? Can they receive ABA therapy as well? The simple answer is yes; adults can receive ABA therapy!
Adult Programs
It is never too late to benefit from ABA treatments! Adult ABA sessions at ACES have different treatments and exercises than the children's program but yield the same successful results in behavioral improvement. ACES uses observation of the patient to gather an action plan for the type of treatment needed for the patient. When working with adults, ABA therapy can be a slow-moving process. Adults tend to react differently when introduced to new environments, but ACES has years of experience to provide a safe environment with the best care possible for each patient.
Benefits of Adult ABA
With ACES adult programs, there are the same great results as our children's programs, proving that ABA therapy can help improve our patient's quality of life no matter the age. There are immense benefits of ABA therapy, including:
- Language development and skills
- Communication skills
- Better focus and attention
- Improved social skills
- Higher academic achievement
- Decrease in problem behaviors
- Better memory
- Decrease in outbursts
Additional Support
When an adult chooses to start ABA therapy, there are more hands-on requirements from our staff and the supporting family of the client. Depending on the client's age, some habits and reactions can take a longer time to deconstruct. With adult ABA therapy, our clients interact with the same staff for an extended time to build a consistent and safe environment for the client.
