Above all, Hope strives to provide quality ABA therapy to individuals with behavioral challenges, Autism and/ or other diagnosis. Our core philosophy of individualized, meaningful, socially significant programs, that will be continually monitored by qualified, ethical staff is the standard of care for all learners served.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is research based principles of learning, which are highly effective in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder, developmental disabilities, and general behaviors of concern. All treatment and goals Hope implements will fall within the scope of ABA research, and will have data taken and analyzed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in order to determine effectiveness of the ABA therapy.
An assessment will be completed using various tools ( VB-MAPP, ABLLS, AFLS). A direct Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and an indirect FBA will be completed in order to write treatment goals . Individualized ABA therapy may use a variety of evidence based practices: such as Discrete Trial Therapy (DTT), Pivotal Response Therapy (PRT) Pictire Exchange Communication Systems (PECS), Visual supports (schedules, token systems) and parent led interventions. The RUBI curriculum is used for modeling and teaching concepts to families.
In 2005, I worked as an intern with a group home that specialized in providing ABA therapy to adolescents with Autism and developmental disabilities, and I was forever changed. I loved helping the children learn and the overwhelming feeling of a child accomplishing something for the first time. Throughout my career I have witnessed so many milestones from learners and their families. I love seeing and being apart of such life changing experiences! After several years of gaining experience in the home setting, schools, and group home settings, I opened Hope Behavior Services, LLC to provide quality ABA therapy in Visalia, CA.
