Read MoreWhat to Do If Therapy Doesn't Work
Many parents wonder what to do if therapy doesn't work for their child. It's a common concern, and you're not alone. If you feel your current ABA therapy isn't yielding results, here are some steps to consider:
- Request a program review – Ask your BCBA to evaluate your child's progress data and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
- Seek a second opinion – Another BCBA may identify different approaches that could work better for your child.
- Evaluate the fit – Sometimes the therapist-child relationship matters as much as the treatment itself. A change in RBT can make a difference.
- Check for medical issues – Underlying health conditions like sleep problems or anxiety can affect therapy progress.
- Consider treatment intensity – Your child may benefit from more (or fewer) hours of therapy per week.
