Applied Behavior Analysis
What is Applied Behavior Analysis?
El Análisis de Conducta Aplicada (ABA, por sus siglas en inglés) es una disciplina bien desarrollada que utiliza prácticas basadas en evidencia para generar cambios conductuales positivos en individuos.
​
El ABA de calidad crea un entorno que aumenta los cambios conductuales positivos y disminuye la probabilidad de que ocurran comportamientos incorrectos, para luego generalizar las habilidades recién adquiridas en el entorno natural.
​
Los programas de ABA de calidad descomponen las nuevas habilidades en tareas más pequeñas para permitir su finalización exitosa y utilizan refuerzo positivo para fomentar que estos comportamientos apropiados continúen.
Usted y sus hijos son nuestras principales prioridades aquí en DSP. Nos aseguramos de trabajar incansablemente para brindarle una mejor experiencia de atención.

Nuestro Enfoque
At DSP Health, we understand the importance of a collaborative and holistic approach to care. As such, each of our clients is assigned a Care Team, which is composed of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a minimum of two Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who are fully trained in each client’s individualized treatment program.
​
By utilizing Care Teams, we are able to minimize provider cancellations and provide our clients with consistent services, which we know leads to better outcomes for individuals with behavioral needs. We also know that the generalization of skills is an important component of all behavioral treatment programs and that many individuals with autism and similar conditions struggle to generalize their skills across people and environments. With our Care Team approach, we build in generalization programming from the start services to help develop a robust skillset in each of our clients.
Additionally, each client’s Care Team has access to our consulting providers, including Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, Speech/Language Pathologists, School Psychologists, and Occupational Therapists. We also strive to collaborate with each client’s existing team of providers, such as special education staff, medical providers, and mental health therapists, which helps to build a truly comprehensive and coordinated plan of care.
