Applied Behavior Analysis As an Approach to Autism Therapy

ABA at  Achievers ABA is one of the most effective and recommended approaches to autism therapy. The ABA approach focuses on increasing positive behaviors and decreasing negative behaviors through repetition and reinforcement. It’s the foundation for many other therapies and has been used in treating children with autism and other developmental disorders.

Indianapolis aba therapy In the past several years, private equity has fueled an explosion in the number of companies offering autism therapies across the country. The firms and their investors are racing to fill a longstanding gap, in part because state mandates have created lucrative insurance coverage for these treatments.

But there are some questions about the industry’s growth trajectory. Among them: Are the workers who implement the treatment really qualified to do so?

There are two main types of workers in the ABA industry: Board Certified Behavior Analysts, who design and oversee an individual child’s program, and Registered Behavioral Technicians, who implement the therapy and work with autistic children many hours a day. Typically, only graduate-level professionals qualify for the latter position.

As the ABA industry has grown, however, complaints have emerged about some therapists. Parents have complained about under-trained staff, high turnover and poor supervision.

Those issues have been made worse by the pace of growth at autism-therapy centers, according to Fortune. These centers have quickly outpaced the competition in their home states, but some therapists say they’ve struggled to match that pace, despite a lack of resources and training for their employees.
