Frequently Asked Questions

What does a behavioral therapist do for a child with autism or ADHD?

A behavioral therapist uses structured, evidence-based techniques such as ABA-based strategies, visual supports, and social stories to help children develop communication, social skills, and adaptive functioning. Anuja designs individualized intervention plans based on each child's developmental level and specific behavioral patterns, then works closely with families to apply these strategies consistently across home and school settings.

How are therapy goals set for my child?

Therapy goals are set through a detailed assessment of your child's current skills, behavioral patterns, and developmental needs, combined with input from parents about their priorities. At Cadabam's CDC, Anuja collaborates with the multidisciplinary team — including speech therapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists — to ensure goals address the whole child rather than isolated behaviors.

What should I expect during a behavioral therapy session?

Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes and involve structured one-on-one activities tailored to your child's goals, such as practicing social interactions through play, using token economies to reinforce positive behaviors, or working through social stories. Activities are designed to feel engaging for the child while systematically building skills like turn-taking, following instructions, and emotional regulation.

How can parents support therapy progress at home?

Parents play a critical role by consistently applying the behavioral strategies discussed during sessions — such as reinforcement schedules, visual supports, and structured routines — throughout daily life. Anuja conducts parent training workshops and provides specific techniques so that the skills learned in therapy carry over to mealtimes, transitions, homework, and social situations at home and school.

How is my child's progress measured over time?

Progress is tracked through regular data collection on target behaviors, periodic reassessments of developmental milestones, and parent and teacher feedback. Anuja reviews this data with the team at Cadabam's CDC to adjust therapy goals and strategies, typically on a quarterly basis, ensuring that intervention stays aligned with your child's evolving needs.
