Does Communication Skills Training for Autism Work?

Yes, using ABA therapy to improve your child’s communication is incredibly effective! It works by breaking large and complex goals into smaller and more achievable skills that are targeted for increase, such as:

  • Expressing needs by requesting items;
  • Naming, labeling, or describing things;
  • Engaging in reciprocal conversations;
  • Understanding and following instructions;
  • Using sign language or communication devices if needed;
  • Socializing appropriately with peers.

Improvements in these skills often lead to reduced challenging behaviors, as children have communication tools to express their needs and wants.

Our Approach to ABA Communication Skills Training

At Rise Up For Autism, we personalize our therapy to meet each child's unique needs. Here is what we do:

  • Individualized Therapy Plans

    Each plan clearly indicates what the communication challenges are, where the child should be for their age, and a plan to help them achieve this!

  • Focus on Functional Communication

    We develop skills for daily use, ensuring effective interaction with the environment.

  • Collaborative Team Effort

    Our BCBAs and RBTs work closely with families and educators to ensure a unified approach.

  • Ongoing Assessment and Adaptation

    We regularly adjust our strategies based on the child’s progress.
