Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Program
What Is ABA?
CCMH is partnered with Footprints, to bring
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to
families in Columbia County. ABA provides
evidence-based treatment services for children
with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Services
can be offered in the child’s home and in the
community depending on the needs of the child.
ABA strives to increase desired behaviors and
decrease challenging behaviors through the use
of positive behavior supports.
Supportive Services
Behavior Interventionists are assigned to
every enrolled child to facilitate their
specialized program. Each Interventionist is
guided and supervised by a Board-Certified
Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Interventionists
implement programs that are designed to
enhance the lives of each client. Programs
are implemented in a variety of ways to
facilitate communication, build social skills,
decrease problematic or interfering
behaviors, and replace them with skills built
for success.
Behavior Methods May Include:
-Discrete Trial Training
-Natural Environment Training
(client led play, community outings)
-Pivotal Response Training
Determining Eligibility for Services
Applicants will have an established DSM-V
diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder that
includes observational methods conducted
by the child’s developmental pediatrician, a
psychiatrist, or psychologist. Once a referral
is complete and a prior authorization has
been receivedby the ABA program from
insurance, our staff will assist in the
preparation of a treatment plan and
parent training.
