Applied Behavior Analysis

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on explaining behavior in terms of observable measurable events, to identify concrete and effective behavior change strategies. ABA is the design, implementation, and evaluation of environmental modifications to produce meaningful improvement in behavior, based on over 50 years of published research. This includes the use of direct observation, measurement, and functional analysis of the relationship between environment and behavior: What happens right before a behavior and what happens right after are essential to understanding the functional relationship between antecedents, behaviors and consequences. It targets both skill acquisition (new desirable behaviors) and reduction (current undesirable behaviors) by employing both antecedent (proactive) and consequence (reactive) strategies.

Getting Started

Pastiche Partners provides  individualized ABA therapy services tailored to child and family needs. Prior to starting therapy, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine present levels of performance, including areas of strength and skill deficits. This assessment is completed by a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and may be supported by a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). Following the assessment, a BCBA will work with you to incorporate family values and preferences in the creation of an individualized plan to address areas of development within behavior, communication, social and adaptive skills. The treatment plan will include goals to reduce challenging behavior and  increase appropriate replacement behaviors, with a specific number of weekly hours requested for authorized direct service. Once approved, the therapy team will be lead by a supervising BCBA, with direct therapy services delivered by BCBA, BCaBA and/or RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) providers, all credentialed by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board.

​

Parents and caregivers are an essential element of effective ABA services. Our goal is to help everyone interacting with a child to become familiar with ways to implement effective strategies within everyday life to reduce challenging behaviors and increase behaviors that promote learning new skills.
