Integrating relational frame training into ABA programs doesn’t replace foundational skills—it builds upon them. It ensures that learners are not just following instructions but understanding relationships, solving problems, and connecting with others in meaningful ways...This approach not only enhances clinical outcomes but also aligns with the broader mission of behavior analysis: to improve the quality of life for those we serve.

At Daytastic ABA, meeting a child at their level means more than adjusting instruction. It means taking time to understand how your child learns, how they communicate, what they enjoy, and what they find challenging. It means seeing your child not only through the lens of data or skill acquisition but as a whole person. A person who deserves to be understood, respected, and supported with compassion.

BCaBAs build relationships. They get to know your child’s quirks, preferences, and progress. They notice that your son lights up when dinosaurs are involved, or that your daughter calms down when you let her hold the plan book. They help your child’s goals feel personal and connected, never just checkboxes.

When your child begins ABA therapy, one of the most common questions parents ask is: How will I know if it’s working? It’s a great question — and an important one. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is all about meaningful progress. From the first word spoken to the first independent shoe-tying, each success builds upon the last. But how do we track that growth? How do we know your child is learning, developing, and moving toward greater independence?This blog will walk you through how your child’s progress is monitored in ABA — from those first assessments to goal updates, data collection, and everything in between. Think of this post as a behind-the-scenes look at how we move from milestones to mastery — and how families like yours are a crucial part of that journey.
