Bridging Worlds Behavioral Services provides Heart-Centered ABA to help people with autism and developmental delays realize their fullest potential We take a Heart-Centered approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Conventional ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) uses the environment and reinforcement to shape people’s behavior. Heart-Centered ABA uses empathy, acceptance, and unconditional love synthesized with the principles of conventional ABA to help people with autism and developmental delays realize their full potential. Our goal is to end isolation and foster community—one family at a time, one client at a time, one connection at a time.1 Fun is the name of the game when it comes to learning. All our treatment is designed to be enjoyable for the whole family. By building strong relationships, we strive to make all learning a fun game that our clients and families can enjoy as they face their challenges and grow. 3 We facilitate the client’s independence and evaluate the progress of the treatment periodically to determine the most effective course forward. Caption Real Connection = Real Results After the initial assessment, a consultant is matched with the client and family. The consultant will be the guiding support, incorporating the treatment goals into every session. Our Clients We collaborate closely with you (the family), along with behaviorists, caregivers, teachers, and other support providers, to help our clients move through whatever has been in the way of them achieving their goals. 4 People with autism and developmental disabilities often live in a world apart, isolated from their family and society. We understand that everyone lives in their own unique world. We warmly join with our clients and their families in their worlds. Using our Heart-Centered approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we’re able to affect deeper and more lasting change for our clients and their families. Treatment plans are created in a heart- centered way. The plan includes resources for the client and their family based on the information discovered during the assessment process, a focus on the individual client’s goals. A treatment plan will include both behavior reduction and skill acquisition goals. We look at the behavior in the context of the whole environment or family system. We explore what happens before and after, and how the client is able to communicate their needs. We focus on behaviors that will improve the overall quality of life for our clients. We believe that all behavior is communication. We strive to find the hidden messages and gems underneath the most challenging behaviors to further evolve our heart-centered approach. We teach functional skills to help with any areas of challenge our clients possess. We focus specifically on communication, social skills, and daily living skills. All treatment plans are tailored to the specific needs of the client and their family culture. Collaboration is essential. Parents and caregivers are learning how to best support their child and how to find harmony in the home through every step of the treatment process.
