What is ABA Therapy?
ABA focuses on positive behaviors, while reducing negative behaviors to improve a variety of functional skills across different environments. In order to do this, the behavior technician works on motivating their client through rewards/reinforcement which encourages skills that will help build their independence. ABA therapy is not only effective for children, but also teenagers, and adults with ASD.

PCWC’s In-Home ABA Services works on building skills by focusing on some of these areas:
  • Language and Communication
  • Social Skills
  • Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
  • Community Safety
  • Play Skills
  • Behavior Planning
  • Replacement Behaviors
  • and More!

What does an ABA behavior technician do?
The ABA team is an essential part to ABA therapy. The behavior technician implements the treatment plan that has been created by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The behavior technician’s job is to teach your child the skills they need to grow within their environment and ultimately become independent. This may consist of decreasing maladaptive behaviors and increasing appropriate replacement behaviors and/or helping them learn to communicate and understand their environment.

Parent/Caregiver Involvement:
Parents play a critical role in the treatment of their child’s symptoms of ASD; thus, our BCBA develops a plan for the parents to follow to help teach them how to implement ABA procedures. The BCBA and parent collaborate on setting goals that would be attainable for the family as a unit and teaches strategies that parents can use in the home to help support their child’s growth.

Mediya's patience knows no bounds. She consistently demonstrates an exceptional ability to remain calm and composed, even in challenging situations. Her understanding and acceptance of my son's differences have not only helped him thrive but have also empowered our entire family to better support and connect with him.

Communication has been a cornerstone of Mediya's success. She keeps us informed about our son's progress, shares valuable insights, and collaborates with us to implement strategies at home.
