Child-Led ABA

Child-led ABA involves following the child's lead during sessions and supporting their autonomy. Children are involved in treatment planning their perspectives are central to decision-making. With this approach, goals are customized to the specific values, priorities, and needs of each child and family.

​

Child-led ABA sessions look different for everyone. A therapist follows a child's lead, building connection, observing behavior with curiosity, modeling behaviors that serve the child's values, joining and supporting expansion of play, modeling developmentally appropriate and processing-specific language, and co-regulating with the child. At Unfurling Littles, sessions might take place at home, in daycare or school, or in the community. 

​

Child-led ABA is provided by a Behavior Analyst or a Behavior Therapist who is under the supervision of a Behavior Analyst. Unfurling Littles is in network with many insurance companies for ABA services.
