What Makes a Career in ABA So Rewarding?
- Making a Real Difference: You’ll help children develop essential skills that will support them throughout their lives. Seeing a child communicate more effectively or develop independence is an incredibly fulfilling experience. Using evidence-based practices and rooted in the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis, ABA therapists help their clients develop communication skills, social interactions, independence with self-help skills, academic skills and adaptive behaviours. Our collaborative approach also means we work directly with clients to collaborate on development goals and supporting them to achieve their goals reach their potential! This leads to improved quality of life, greater inclusion, and the ability to engage more fully with their communities.
- Opportunities for Personal Growth: Serving neurodiverse children and their families through ABA therapy offers an incredibly rewarding experience that challenges you both professionally and personally. The process of developing and implementing individualized interventions requires constant problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability, which helps you build critical thinking and decision-making skills. Working with children who have unique needs means you must think outside the box! Working collaboratively with caregivers and clients gives opportunities to develop strategies to address challenges, fostering a sense of personal accomplishment. Supporting clients at home or in the community also involves forming meaningful relationships with the families and other caregivers you work with. Working closely with them gives opportunities for you to grow in your ability to collaborate, communicate effectively, and navigate complex emotional dynamics. It is essential that supports provided in ABA therapy are individualized to each client, which often means trying new things and pushing yourself pushing you to continually grow and refine your skills in ways that are both exciting and fulfilling.
