South Sound Behavior Therapy

We have recently opened our doors and are accepting new clients. We strive to provide the highest quality of services with well-trained and enthusiastic therapists. South Sound Behavior Therapy was founded on a strong basis of integrity and ethics. We believe every child has a right to the least restrictive environment and we believe in empirical evidence and data taking to guide our therapy and treatment decisions.

The ABC's of ABA

Applied behavior analysis focuses on targeting behavior with real life applications in a measurable way based on the data gathered in therapy. As therapists focus on behaviors, then observe the ABC's, or the antecedents, behaviors, and the consequences. The antecedents are what happens directly before the behavior while consequences are what follows after the behavior. Together, the ABC's form what is called the contingency of reinforcement. Due to this contingency, behaviors can either increase in frequency, decrease in frequency, or stay the same depending on what the consequence of their actions was. Observing this contingency is what informs therapists on what to change in order to make therapy successful.
