Question 1

What is Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS)?

Accepted Answer

Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) is a specific framework of mental health support designed for children, youth, and young adults (typically up to age 21) who have significant emotional or behavioral challenges. IBHS is highly individualized. It isn't a "one-size-fits-all" program; it’s a clinical intervention tailored to the specific person's needs.

Question 2

What is a written order?

Accepted Answer

A Written Order is a professional prescription for help. Just like a doctor writes a note to a pharmacist to give you medicine for a cough, a Written Order is a note from a doctor or therapist to an insurance company for a clinic to give your child behavioral help. It is a formal document that proves a child needs extra support to learn new skills or handle big emotions.

Question 3

Why choose a center based program like ABAS?

Accepted Answer

Every client's program is individualized to meet their unique developmental needs. Our program emphasizes building language, independence, and social skills through natural environment teaching, discrete trial training, and generalization strategies.

Question 4

언어 행동이란 무엇입니까?

Accepted Answer

언어 행동 또는 VB는 아동이 의사 소통하는 이유 또는 이유에 대한 분석의 약자입니다. 예에는 레이블 지정, 요청 및/또는 다른 사람의 지시에 응답하는 기능이 포함될 수 있습니다. 위의 의사 소통 기술의 레퍼토리는 효과적인 의사 소통을 만듭니다. 언어적 행동은 음성 커뮤니케이션에 국한되지 않고 수화, 몸짓, 사진 교환 또는 음성 출력 장치를 포함할 수 있습니다.

Question 5

ABA/VB 프로그램이 우리 아이에게 어떤 도움이 됩니까?

Accepted Answer

아동의 개별 의사소통, 사회적, 행동적 필요를 다루기 위해 개발된 ABA/VB 프로그램은 장애 아동의 삶의 질과 결과를 극적으로 향상시킬 수 있습니다. United States Surgeon General(1999)은 "30년간의 연구는 부적절한 행동을 줄이고 의사 소통, 학습 및 적절한 사회적 행동을 증가시키는 데 적용된 행동 방법의 효능을 입증했습니다."라고 결론지었습니다.

Question 6

Is my child "just playing" or are they actually learning?

Accepted Answer

While it looks like fun and games, every activity is a "learning opportunity." We use Natural Environment Teaching (NET) to embed clinical goals into activities your child already loves. Whether they are building with blocks or playing hide-n-seek, our BCBAs and RBTs are actively prompting communication, turn-taking, and problem-solving.

Question 7

What is the difference between play-based ABA and a typical daycare?

Accepted Answer

The difference lies in the intentionality. In a daycare, play is often unstructured. In our program, every interaction is guided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and an individualized treatment plan. We use specific reinforcement schedules and data-driven adjustments to ensure your child is meeting the milestones outlined in their assessments (like the VB-MAPP for example).

Question 8

How does play help with School Readiness?

Accepted Answer

Success in Kindergarten requires more than just knowing ABCs; it requires other soft skills such as following group instructions and playing reciprocally with peers. By practicing these in a play-based clinic setting, children build the social stamina needed to thrive in a larger classroom environment.

Question 9

Why do we use reinforcement during play?

Accepted Answer

Reinforcement is what makes a skill "stick." By using a child’s natural interests (like a favorite dinosaur or a specific song) as a reinforcer, we build high levels of motivation. This makes the learning process enjoyable rather than a chore, which leads to faster skill acquisition and fewer challenging behaviors.
