ABA Therapy Services

Flexible Services

We understand that families require flexibility and your time is limited and valuable, which is why we do not ask for absurd amounts of it! We believe that the effectiveness of service is based on the quality of the treatment and not the quantity of hours spent in treatment. CFBC offers direct services provided by a licensed behavior analyst paired with family guidance to ensure learning is embedded into everyday life, not just within therapy sessions.

Why ABA?

ABA therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals learn new skills while addressing behaviors that may be limiting access, participation or impeding on daily functioning. To identify where support is needed, we use a variety of skill assessments and if needed, we conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment. With input from the individual and their family, combined with assessment results and the guidance of a Licensed Behavior Analyst, we work together to create personalized treatment.

Current Treatment Offerings

Direct Treatment

What makes CFBC unique is that all of our current services are provided directly by a BCBA. Conventionally, direct services are provided by paraprofessionals under the supervision of a Behavior Analyst (BCBA). These services are usually delivered at either intensively (20+ hours/week) or non-intensively (up to 19/week). We prioritize quality of service and believe a lower-dose service led by more experienced clinicians can lead to improved outcomes. Sessions typically occur 2–8 hours per week, with treatment formally reviewed every six months.

Family-Led ABA

We recognize that the classic ABA treatment model doesn’t fit the needs of all families and/or they do not have access to in-home services. The family led treatment model is for caregivers who are seeking flexibility or facing lack of access to consistent treatment. Families will learn how to implement a variety of strategies designed together to increase social engagement and communication, language development, daily living skills and/or to address behaviors of concern. Sessions typically occur 2-6 hours per week, with treatment formally reviewed every six months.

Consultation

Consultative services are a blend of direct and family-led treatment. In this model of services and focused on one to two specific goals. A Behavior Analyst may spend time working directly with clients troubleshooting interventions which are then quickly generalized to the family. Consult may also occur at school, daycare or with other change agents, pending insurance approval. Sessions typically occur 2–4 hours per week, with treatment generally lasting up to six months.

    Early Intervention (ages 2-5)

    Naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) is an evidence based approach combining the principles of ABA with the views of developmental psychology. Caregivers are supported through creating learning opportunities embedded into play and daily routines in order to establish meaningful social connection, communication and to acquire other developmentally appropriate skills.
