In this episode Jess and Ashley chat about developmentally appropriate ABA for children under 3. Join us as we discuss some examples of what ABA might look like for young children or possible differences between ways ABA services might be structured. This episode is intended to help parents prepare for early conversations with ABA agencies and begin to consider how different recommendations and applications of ABA services align with their family. Jess and Ashley dive into the location of ABA services (home vs. clinic-based services), the intensity of service hours, and the style of therapy (play-based vs. more structured). Lastly, we explore examples of what to expect from a high-quality ABA that is developmentally appropriate and effective at improving the quality of life of children. At the end of the day, ABA services should meaningfully engage children in learning opportunities, be specifically tailored, and should align with what works best for families and individuals.
