How will ABA therapy be integrated with other therapies and interventions my child is receiving?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy can be integrated with other therapies and interventions that a child with autism may be receiving. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment that incorporates multiple interventions can be most effective in helping children with autism achieve their full potential.
Here are some ways that ABA therapy can be integrated with other therapies and interventions:
Speech therapy: ABA therapy can be integrated with speech therapy to target communication skills, such as language development, articulation, and pragmatic language.
Occupational therapy: ABA therapy can be integrated with occupational therapy to target daily living skills, such as self-care, fine motor skills, and sensory integration.
​
It is important for parents to communicate with their child's healthcare providers and ABA therapist to ensure that all interventions are coordinated and complementary. The ABA therapist can work with the child's healthcare providers to develop a treatment plan that integrates ABA therapy with other interventions in a way that maximizes the child's progress and overall well-being.
A coordinated approach to treatment that incorporates multiple interventions can help children with autism achieve their full potential and improve their quality of life.
