We focus on improving social skills such as communication; and adaptive learning skills such as fine motor skills, hygiene, personal grooming, domestic skills, punctuality and job competency.
At Juntos Behavioral & Mental Benefits Corp. we apply Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and follow a set of practices and principles to ensure the effectiveness and ethics of treatment.
We initially conduct a thorough assessment of the patient to identify specific behaviors that need to be modified and establish clear and measurable goals; we develop an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's needs and goals, which includes specific strategies to teach new skills and reduce problematic behaviors; and we implement positive reinforcements to increase the frequency of desired behaviors, identifying which types of reinforcements are most effective for each patient; and finally we keep detailed records of the patient's progress to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and make adjustments as necessary, this includes collecting data on the frequency, duration and intensity of behaviors.
Our specialists are trained in the principles and techniques of ABA. This includes ongoing training and supervision to maintain high standards of practice.
We involve families in the treatment process, providing training and support so they can apply ABA techniques at home and in other settings such as school and the community, ensuring that patients can apply what they have learned in their daily lives.
We maintain high ethical standards, ensuring that patients and their families understand and consent to treatment. We respect the dignity and rights of patients at all times.
