Aggression support should be calm, data-led, and focused on what your child can do instead.
Budding Futures ABA helps Aurora families when hitting, biting, throwing, or unsafe outbursts are making home, school, or daily routines feel impossible.
We start by finding the reason behind the aggressive behavior. Then a BCBA builds a plan that teaches safer communication, coping, and replacement behavior.
If your child is autistic and aggression is putting siblings, parents, classmates, or your child at risk, Budding Futures can help your Aurora family take the next step without shame or blame.
Budding Futures uses ABA therapy to understand the root causes of aggression, then teach skills that help reduce aggressive behavior over time.
Hitting, biting, kicking, throwing, physical aggression, verbal aggression, and aggressive outbursts are not handled with shame. A child with autism may be trying to escape a demand, get help, handle sensory overload, ask for attention, or communicate frustration with the tools they have right now.
A BCBA can use functional behavior assessment principles to find what is driving the behavior. Then the plan teaches replacement behavior and positive behavior: asking for a break, using a word or device, tolerating a wait, moving to a safer place, or coping before the moment gets too big.
We look at triggers of aggression, frequency, setting, and what happens before and after each incident.
ABA techniques should change when the data shows a strategy is not working for your child.
With permission, we can coordinate around behavior intervention plans, behavior management, and school carryover.
For Aurora families, aggressive behavior can affect the whole home. Aurora is close to our Denver office, and many families here balance home routines, school schedules, and insurance questions at the same time. Budding Futures brings support into the place where the problem is happening, so the plan is built around real routines.
Rachel Blackburn, BCBA, reviews the plan. Your RBT practices the replacement skills with your child. You get parent coaching for managing aggressive behavior so the response is consistent when therapy is not in the room.
