ABA THERAPY

We are behavior change experts. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA Therapy) is the gold standard of care for children with developmental delays.

At Lotus we focus on improving language, communication and play skills in a way that really makes a difference in a child’s overall quality of life. We conduct assessments and interventions across Miami and Broward that are designed to meet the individual needs of the children and families we service. By using scientifically proven techniques, ABA therapy results in lasting behavior changes.

Early intervention goals typically focus on teaching a child how to learn, while more advanced skills relate to community functioning and academic success. Please see below for additional information regarding some of the behaviors that are typically targeted for either acquisition or reduction in children diagnosed with autism.

ABA Therapy increases your child's adaptive behavior while simultaneously decreasing their maladaptive behavior in ways that are meaningful to you

EARLY LEARNER SKILLS

Newly diagnosed children with autism often need to work on simple life skills before they move on to more advanced ones.

These early intervention skills are important because they help your child to learn in a more efficient and effective way. Some early learner skills that children with autism often lack include making eye contact, imitating, following instructions, requesting, and pointing. These goals are actively targeted during ABA therapy. Once these skills are learned, your child will be well on their way to achieving their fullest developmental potentials.

Young children learn best through play, and children with autism are no different. Our team of ABA therapy professionals target the core deficits of autism by mixing research based interventions with fun. Letting the child lead can be an important part of a successful ABA intervention for a young child whose attention deficits may compete with learning. By incorporating their favorite toys and activities into the ABA therapy session, your child will learn a variety of foundational skills in a fun environment.
