The holidays are usually measured by grand traditions, but in the world of ABA, the real magic is in the "small" wins. This season, we are celebrating the monumental milestones that others might miss like:

❄ Tolerating a few minutes at a holiday dinner
❄ Sitting on the potty
❄ Requesting on an AAC device
❄ Navigating a noisy gathering

and much, much more. These moments aren't just small steps, but also the result of incredible hard work and heart from our kiddos, families, and therapists. We prioritize progress over perfection and find joy in every step forward!

❄ Holiday Prep: Quick Tips for our Families! 🎁

Navigating holiday chaos is tough! Here are 4 quick tips from MBC for a smoother transition this season:

⛄Prep with Visuals: Use visual schedules or social stories to show your child exactly what to expect at gatherings.

⛄Keep Core Routine: Maintain consistent sleep and meal schedules to reduce anxiety.

⛄Find a Safe Space: Identify a quiet "sensory escape" for decompression time.

⛄Celebrate Tolerance: Reinforce attempts and participation, even if it only lasts a few minutes! The goal is connection, not perfection.

Remember to take a moment to celebrate every small victory! ✨

MYTH BUSTED! 🚫😱

ABA is NOT just about 'table time.' Modern, ethical ABA is naturalistic, play-based, and happens in real-world settings (like the playground or home!).

NET (Natural Environment Teaching) utilizes the child's natural motivation and interests as the teaching context. This makes learning less effortful and more enjoyable, as the child is intrinsically engaged. By teaching skills directly where they will be used (the "natural environment"), NET inherently addresses generalization and improves the likelihood that the child will use their new skills in a multitude of settings!

Here at MBC, our focus is on meaningful, life-changing skills. ✨

Let's talk reinforcement ✨

Ever hear the term 'reinforcement' and wonder what it really means? At its core, reinforcement is anything that happens after a behavior that makes it more likely to happen again in the future.

It's about making a positive connection between an action and its outcome. For example, when you praise your child for helping clean up, that positive feeling makes them more likely to help again. This is called positive reinforcement because you're adding something (praise) to encourage the behavior.

Another example is putting on your seatbelt to stop the annoying beeping sound from your car. You're more likely to remember to put on your seatbelt to avoid the sound next time! This is called negative reinforcement because you're removing something (the beeping) to encourage the behavior.

Understanding these principles help us create a supportive environment for learning and grown, focusing on building skills and celebrating every success along the way.
