ABCs of ABA: Q is for Qualitative Data 📝

Qualitative data focuses on the descriptive side of progress — like how a child interacts, their mood, or their comfort level during a session. While quantitative data shows the numbers, qualitative data tells the story behind them.

Together, they help therapists understand the whole picture, ensuring therapy is effective, personalized, and responsive to each child’s needs.

🌟 Welcome to Our ESA Friendswood Family! 🌟

Hi, my name is Zoe Jessen, and I’m a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). I earned my Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Central Methodist University in 2022 and my Associate of Applied Science from San Jacinto College in 2025.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with children in a pediatric setting and through clinical rotations during school. I love helping kids build skills, confidence, and independence, and I enjoy making therapy fun and engaging along the way.

I’d describe myself as warm, patient, and compassionate, and I’m really looking forward to meeting the families, getting to know the kids, and being part of this community.

ABCs of ABA: P is for Prompting 🧩

Prompting is when a therapist provides a cue or assistance to help a child complete a skill successfully. Prompts can be verbal, visual, gestural, or physical — and they’re always designed to promote independence over time. For example, a therapist may model a word or gently guide a hand to complete a task, then fade that support as the child learns.

Prompting helps children build confidence, reduce frustration, and experience success step by step.

ABCs of ABA: O is for Overcorrection 🧩

Overcorrection is a teaching strategy where a child practices the correct behavior several times after a mistake. It’s not a punishment — it’s about learning responsibility and reinforcing the right actions.

Example: If a child accidentally spills water, they may be guided to clean it up and practice placing the cup properly. This teaches care, responsibility, and attention to detail.
