Limitless ABA

Transitioning from a preferred activity to a non-preferred activity can be difficult. Here are some of the best priming techniques we use:

1. Visual cues — this includes interactive timers, schedules, and picture cards to give the client a clear understanding of what is happening next.

2. Communication — engaging with the client and providing them with functional language to self-advocate makes a significant difference. Communication is often overlooked because of the stereotype that the clients we serve “don’t understand.” Using language demonstrates mutual respect and builds trust.

3. Choices — although the end goal is to transition from one activity to another, offering the client options is crucial to following their lead.

As clinicians, it’s our responsibility to honor our clients and help them develop self-advocacy skills, not just collect data.

denied access is hard for all of us, but I didn’t mean to start a war 💔😩

I think we can all admit session notes are not as fun as being 1:1 😂

So real😂

Although some days feel like this, I wouldn’t trade it for the world 🫶🥹
