The therapeutic process begins with an in-home assessment, where our analyst can engage with and observe the client in a setting where they are most comfortable. An individualized treatment plan is then designed to address the child’s specific needs and be implemented in the home setting. Because the providers at Blossom Behavioral Services maintain focus on socially significant treatment outcomes, selecting behavioral targets is a collaborative process between the analyst, the family, and the client. Our analysts use their own clinical experience, expertise, and available research literature in tandem with the family’s values to implement effective, evidence-based practices that allow the client to achieve their goals.
The analysts at Blossom provide parent training according to the family’s priorities. Caregivers learn and subsequently demonstrate the ability to implement relevant behavioral interventions by meeting objective, measurable criteria. Our analysts strive to meet the needs of each family we work with by creating practical protocols that can be implemented within the client’s existing daily routine. Parents and caregivers are regularly provided with data regarding treatment effectiveness in order to ensure the client’s progress continues to align with the family’s desired outcomes.
At Blossom we understand that ABA is often only one piece of a multi-faceted approach to the client’s overall treatment. Our clients often participate in multiple therapeutic and academic activities, and we encourage a dialogue across settings regarding the client’s progress. If a client’s team of family members, caregivers, and professionals deem it necessary, the analyst assigned to that team may be available to provide collaborative support to another professional. Need for these services is assessed on a case by case basis and individualized to the specific situation.
