Sessions are individually crafted based on each client’s unique needs. A typical in-home session will encompass a blend of tabletop work, natural learning experiences, and play-based instruction. ABA staff will constantly be working to motivate your child to participate in therapy by engaging in activities that they find reinforcing. When there comes a time to engage in a task that may be non-preferred, the team will use a variety of ABA-based reinforcement strategies based on your child's preferred activities. This type of approach is very person-centric, using the motivation of each client to lead the path toward learning and long-term independence.

For many of our clients, progress may be restricted by a limited number of reinforcers and preferred activities.  Our team members have been given extensive training on how to utilize current interests to expand preferences.  When this process occurs, it lays the foundation needed for long-lasting behavior change and skill acquisition.
Using a flexible approach, we seamlessly blend targeted ABA therapy within the family's existing routines and activities. This means that families and clients do not need to change their daily routines just because therapy is occurring.

We focus on communication and functional skills.

The ability to effectively communicate is central to our overall quality of life. With this in mind, Innovative Behavior Resources focuses heavily on teaching functional communication through an evidence-based, ABA approach. In addition, we also look to target other functional, home-based skills such as self-help, feeding, and social skills.

Learning does not stop at school or in the home.

In fact, some of the best learning opportunities occur outside of the home in natural community locations, like the grocery store, or Target.
Community-based locations are typically fast-paced and unpredictable. Simply going into these environments for the experience of it will yield limited results. However, when paired with the structure used within home sessions directly to community locations, the learner is able to generalize skills learned in the home to other settings. This method produces progress that lasts and gives each client more independence.
