Frequently Asked Questions

What is ABA?

ABA teaches children new skills, behaviors, and coping mechanisms through the power of positive reinforcement. Your child’s clinician will gather data on how your child is responding to each therapy method they try, and based on how they’re progressing, adjust their treatment to match. Through ABA, your child can learn, grow, and develop in a way that works best for them.

What does ABA therapy look like at BSS of VA?

We focus on a child’s interests and strengths to motivate learning and growing through positive reinforcement. Your child’s individualized care plan breaks down each skill we’re aiming for into small, concrete steps. The therapist then helps your child meet each step one by one, from simple to more complex —  like teaching the child to imitate single sounds to eventually say a complete sentence.

Learning through play is incoorported into each child’s day!

Can I schedule a tour?

Yes! Finding a provider you trust and understanding your child’s learning environment is a critical. We encourage you to call or email to schedule a tour. In most cases you can set up a time within one week.

Do you have translation services?

Parents, legal guardians, and stakeholders who require assistance with communication in spoken or written English, including individuals who are deaf/hard of hearing and individuals from different cultural backgrounds where English is not their first language are able to request translation services or in lieu of translation services use a family member as an interpreter. Please contact us for a list of providers.
