Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy Services in Michigan

ABA therapy is an evidence-based and proven method for children with an autism diagnosis and other developmental issues. It utilizes the science of learning and behavior to address real-life situations.

Blossom Children’s Center in Michigan offers ABA therapy for children with autism, and aids families in navigating the challenges they may face. Our ABA providers assist children in overcoming daily obstacles, like communication barriers or social difficulties.

Why Consider ABA Therapy at Blossom Children’s Center

Blossom uses a child-led and play-based approach to ABA therapy. It aims to enhance language, communication, motor, and social skills, as well as boost academic independence, all through naturalistic teaching and play. Simultaneously, ABA works to reduce inappropriate behaviors that might hinder your child’s learning or social interactions.

As a leading ABA service provider in Michigan, the Blossom team collaborates with parents and guardians to assign the best team for your child.

Each team member, operates within the child-led, play-based framework and can include:

  • Behavior Technicians
  • Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT)

Your child is assigned a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who oversees their ABA therapy team, will also collaborate with parents and guardians to ensure goals are functional and individualized for your child. Your child’s ABA therapy team will teach these skills through your child’s unique interests and play opportunities to ensure the skills learned at Blossom maintain and generalize to their everyday life.

ABA Therapy Methods

At Blossom, we recognize the crucial role of early and intensive interventions in supporting your child’s growth and development. We are committed to advancement in all areas, providing high-quality ABA therapy in Michigan through specific, but individualized methodologies.

We prioritize individualized child-led, play-based sessions which incorporate evidence-based interventions such as:

  • Natural Environment Teaching (NET) is a method that helps children’s learn new skills in their everyday surroundings. Unlike traditional ABA teaching strategies, NET takes place in familiar places like the playground, which makes learning both fun and practical. It uses your child’s interests and favorite activities as tools to help them understand and develop new abilities, turning enjoyable experiences into opportunities for learning and growth.
  • Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) involves emphasizing enjoyable and daily activities, like games and fun tasks, to optimize learning opportunities. ESDM helps enhance social, communication, and play skills in a positive and enjoyable learning experience.
  • Pivotal Response Training (PRT) is like using a key to unlock different areas of learning, focusing on pivotal aspects like communication and motivation. Instead of just practicing one skill, PRT connects various skills together, making learning more natural and enjoyable while tailoring it to what matters most for your child’s progress.

Board Certified Behavior Analysts Role within ABA Therapy

Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) help by tailoring individualized ABA therapy programs and goals based on your child’s unique needs and learning styles. Our BCBAs collaborate with parents, Speech and Language Pathologists, and Occupational Therapists, fostering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to Applied Behavior Analysis. This approach facilitates your child’s ability to acquire and generalize new skills across all environments, therapists, and settings.

Your Child’s Day at Blossom

At Blossom, your child begins by joining a classroom group with peers of similar age and skills, fostering learning and play together. A typical day involves transitioning through various activities with their peer group.

Daily activities can include:

  • Circle time
  • Group craft activities
  • Sensory room experiences
  • Gym play

Our naturalistic, play-based approach incorporates your child’s interests throughout the day.

Blossom has naturalistic, community spaces located within the center. In these community rooms, your child can pretend to be a doctor, dentist, or hair stylist, learning about each space while supported by the Blossom team. Our goal is to equip your child with skills to navigate real community spaces like doctors’ offices, dentists’ offices, and/or a hair salon comfortably during visits.
