Frequently Asked Questions about Eisel Behavior Therapy

Is ABA only effective for children and adults with autism?



ABA is effective for treatment of any problem behavior, regardless of diagnosis. An autism diagnosis is generally required when families wish to bill their insurance for ABA. To be clear, behavior analysts treat behavior, not diagnoses.

What is Practical Functional Assessment (PFA)?



This is a two-step process involving open-ended interviews and a functional analysis called an IISCA (Interview-Informed Synthesized Contingency Analysis).

What is Skill Based Treatment (SBT)?



An individualized, performance-based program informed by the PFA. SBT teaches contextually appropriate behaviors such as functional communication, tolerance, and increasing cooperation across various activities, from simple to more complex tasks.

What Is the Balance Program?



The Balance program supports young children (ages 3–6) recently diagnosed with autism, who exhibit emerging problem behavior. It teaches essential life skills, including communication, handling disappointment, cooperation, and persistence, while strengthening adult-child relationships. Often used in parent coaching, the program can be adapted for older children but is not suited for severe behavior challenges like self-injury or severe aggression.

What is "Today's ABA?"



"Today’s ABA,” refers to an exceptional approach in applied behavior analysis that addresses challenging behavior, developed by Dr. Gregory Hanley and colleagues. This approach is characterized by strong, positive, and trusting client-therapist relationships, compassionate care, assent-based treatment, and trauma assumed practices.
