Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an empirical science in which principles of behavior are systematically applied to improve socially significant behavior. Functional analysis is used to identify the variables maintaining inappropriate behavior that in turn allows teams to accurately teach replacement behaviors that result in equivalent reinforcement. The use of evidence-based practice in treating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related disabilities is considered best practice. Tandem Therapy Services provides a wide-range of methodologies that support the practice of ABA.
FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT
ASSESSMENT
Your first step towards providing your child with the tools they need to achieve a brighter future. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will meet with your family and conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) for your child. This assessment will focus on identifying your child’s current strengths and deficits, in order to create a Treatment Plan that will shape any needed skills.
IEP CONSULTATION
IEP CONSULTATION
We understand that it can be difficult to communicate and collaborate with members of your child's school support team at times. Our staff is committed to working with all team members and school personnel in an across-settings approach to generalization. Our team understands that data collection and data-based decisions will guide teams to accurately implement evidence-based interventions across settings.
BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLAN
BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLAN
Accurate implementation of your child’s Behavior Intervention Plan is imperative to their success. Treatment progress is constantly monitored for goal trajectory and appropriate fidelity of implementation of intervention plan components. All treatment decisions are based upon data collection. Data-based decisions are made not only on patient goals, but also on fidelity of implementation of the teachers, Behavior Technicians and parents.
FAMILY TRAINING
FAMILY TRAINING
Your child’s best teacher is you! We integrate family training into every patient’s program. The greatest success can only be achieved when therapists and family members work together as a cohesive and consistent team promoting generalization of new behavior repertoires across all settings. Family members are taught how to become independent teachers for their children.
