How do we use play in ABA therapy?

In our ABA therapy, play becomes a powerful therapeutic tool. Our therapists design play activities that allow children to practice specific skills in a natural and fun way. For example:

Teach sharing: Through games such as train or ball, children learn to take turns and share objects.

Encourage communication: Imitation games, such as making faces or sounds, help children develop nonverbal communication skills.

Improve attention: Search-and-find games or simple puzzles help children maintain concentration.

Benefits of structured play in ABA therapy:

Increased motivation: Children are more likely to engage in activities they find fun.

Generalization of skills: Skills learned in play can be transferred to other situations.

Strengthened therapist-child relationship: Play creates a positive and trusting environment.

What kind of games do we use?

We use a wide variety of games, from the simplest to the most complex, always adapted to the needs and abilities of each child. Some examples include:

Sensory play: Exploring textures, smells and tastes.

Construction games: Building towers, bridges or castles.

Role-playing games: Playing different characters and situations.

Board and card games: Simple and adapted games.
