ABA Therapy for Aggression in Littleton, CO
Budding Futures ABA helps Littleton 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 Littleton family take the next step without shame or blame.
Aggression is communication that needs a safer path
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.
The first goal is safety. The next goal is a better skill.
You are worried about safety
We look at triggers of aggression, frequency, setting, and what happens before and after each incident.
Nothing works twice
ABA techniques should change when the data shows a strategy is not working for your child.
School is calling often
With permission, we can coordinate around behavior intervention plans, behavior management, and school carryover.
