Practical Tips from Our ABA Team

At Prince ABA, our clinicians work every day to help children feel motivated, understood, and supported. The strategies we use in sessions can also be adapted by families at home, helping children continue learning and thriving in all environments. Here are some ways our team supports children—and tips you can try at home:

1. Offering meaningful choices
What we do: Clinicians provide children with options during therapy, whether it’s choosing the order of tasks or selecting a preferred reinforcer.
Tip for parents: Give your child small choices throughout the day—like picking which chore to do first or which book to read—so they feel empowered and motivated.

2. Connecting skills to real life
What we do: Our clinicians design activities that mimic daily routines, like practicing social interactions, completing self-care tasks, or role-playing real-world scenarios.
Tip for parents: Encourage your child to practice these skills at home by involving them in cooking, following a simple schedule, or practicing greetings and conversation skills.

3. Using interests as motivation
What we do: Clinicians incorporate each child’s favorite activities—art, music, games, or movement—into learning opportunities.
Tip for parents: Find ways to weave your child’s passions into learning at home. For example, use favorite characters to teach new concepts or turn chores into a fun game.

4. Encouraging independence and social skills
What we do: Our team models and reinforces communication, self-advocacy, and cooperative play during sessions.
Tip for parents: Support independence by letting your child make small decisions, communicate needs, or help with age-appropriate tasks around the house.

5. Partnering with families
What we do: Clinicians regularly share progress, strategies, and activities with families to create consistency between therapy and home.
Tip for parents: Ask your child’s clinician for simple practice activities you can do at home—using the same language, reinforcers, or routines helps skills stick.

By using these strategies both in sessions and at home, children benefit from consistent, meaningful practice—and parents gain practical tools to support growth and independence.
