Autism Therapy Services For Your Child
Skill Acquisition
How can your family make its way out of the maze that is problem behaviors and their child’s low skill level? You may be wondering how can a child with autism, ADHD or Global Developmental Delay can develop the necessary skills to live their life to the fullest. Our patient families ask this question often.
The answer is with learning the appropriate alternate skills.
We know that learning new skills as part of behavior reduction strategies can help individuals gain greater control over their behavior, better manage their emotions, and increase their self-confidence and self-esteem.
We’ve seen firsthand how developing new skills can open up new opportunities and experiences, enhancing the overall quality of life as a consequence of therapy for autism.
If you’re interested in learning more about how we can help your child develop new skills and achieve greater success, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
More About Skill Acquisition
Teaching appropriate alternate skills to replace problem behavior is just as important as implementing behavior reduction strategies for the success of any behavior program. At Positive Behavior Services, we recognize the vital role that teaching appropriate alternate skills plays in helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Global Developmental Delay navigate their world more effectively. We understand that problem behaviors can often arise from a lack of communication skills, which is why we emphasize the importance of skill acquisition to replace problem behaviors. By focusing on functional communication skills, we empower individuals to gain greater control over their behavior and enhance their overall quality of life.
When individuals learn and practice appropriate alternate functional communication skills, they acquire the tools they need to communicate their needs effectively. This enables them to engage in more positive and meaningful interactions with others. For example, teaching a child with autism to use words, signs, pictures or a communication device, can significantly reduce frustration and problem behaviors associated with difficulty expressing themselves. These newfound skills will reduce problem behavior while increasing their ability to communicate.
Learning new skills as part of a skill-based treatment ABA not only provides practical benefits but also opens doors to new opportunities and experiences. By acquiring functional communication skills, individuals with ASD, ADHD or GDD can gain access to the items and activities they want without engaging in problem behavior, such as self-care tasks, school tasks, and leisure activities. This will enhance your child’s overall quality of life.
