ABA Brussels
_________________________________________________________________
I provide ABA therapy services to children and teenagers with ASD, ADHD, language disabilities, Down syndrome, for those meeting challenges with social skills, fears and hypersensitivities and for those who need special education and individualized education programs. However, ABA methods can also be applied to support individuals with other conditions, such as cerebral palsy and selective mutism, helping in their recovery and development.

The process
-
analyzing the environmental variables surrounding the behaviors of concern using assessment tools. This is an active, ongoing process that continues throughout the intervention phase and is revisited during regular evaluations.
-
designing the personalized treatment plan tailored to the person’s specific needs.
-
implementing the intervention by modifying what happens before and after a behavior, or we invite a previously non existent behavior to appear and we shape it to stay, to develop and refine, in order to become part of the person's repertoire. In essence, we alter the person’s social and learning environment to support meaningful change.
-
regularly evaluating the progress to determine the effectiveness of the intervention and make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.​​​
Plurilingualism and Pluriculturalism
I work extensively with families where members come from diverse cultural backgrounds and speak at least two languages at home. The languages spoken in the household are a significant factor to consider when addressing speech and learning difficulties.
Cultural values that are important to the family play a crucial role in customizing programs to help the child acquire skills effectively.
Because we live in different societies and often use languages at home that differ from the language of instruction at school, it is not only the languages that matter, but also the cultural values and backgrounds of everyone involved. These elements are essential to consider for successful learning and development.
