The demand for ABA therapy is on the rise, with an increasing number of children getting diagnosed and not enough ABA clinics open to meet that demand. In fact, 30% of kids in the United States donât even get any behavioral or medication treatment at all. The reality is we need more ABA therapy services in communities. Thatâs where we come in.Â
At Innovations Development Solutions (IDS), we provide:Â
- Early Intervention
- Comprehensive Programs
- Assent-Based Care
These help families meet the varied needs of their children. And we want your children to thrive.Â
IDS is here to meet families in Westminster where they are by delivering services both at our centers and by reinforcing the skills they learn in the home. We work to be flexible for your needs and are dedicated to your kidsâ real-world progress.Â
Understanding ABA Therapy Services
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an autism therapy that encourages positive behaviors through positive reinforcement. It helps kids eliminate obstacles to their learning and communicate openly. ABA also teaches kids social skills and daily independence.Â
Westminster families often turn to ABA therapy to get a sense of structure. At the same time, ABA is adaptable, so it grows with the kids. The therapy plans are highly personalized, so your child gets the help they need, how they need it. These plans are also measurable and focused on improving the quality of life in the home in the long term.Â
IDSâs Three-Pronged Service Model
So what makes us so different from other ABA therapy services? IDS stands out for our three-pronged approach:Â
- Early Intervention: We offer a highly focused support approach for the youngest children diagnosed.Â
- Comprehensive Programs: This therapy is a long-term service for children once they reach school age, and it works in the home, school, and community.Â
- Assent-Based Care: This third prong is a values-driven model that emphasizes our clientsâ voices and their agency.
Â
Here are the ways in which each of those strategies reflects IDSâs commitment to inclusive, customized care:Â
Early Intervention
Our early intervention program supports toddlers and preschoolers. We help these kids learn the language and foundational skills theyâll need before they start kindergarten. We do this by building strong communication patterns. We also help kids establish a behavioral toolkit before school begins.Â
This service model helps your children avoid challenges in the future.Â
Studies show that beginning ABA before the age of five will lead to measurable gains when it comes to their communication and their daily routines. Thanks to our center-based setting, we can offer a structured and nurturing environment that engages your children and helps them feel supported.Â
Comprehensive Programs
When your child reaches school age, IDS transitions them into Comprehensive Programs that operate in the clinic, at school, and in their home.Â
At IDS, we pride ourselves on our ability to partner with local schools and families in Westminster. This helps make sure that each childâs goals transfer across environments. That way, if any academic or social difficulties come up, the childâs therapist is able to quickly jump in and collaborate with the teachers. This collaboration reinforces learned skills. Then, regular assessments will guide any adjustments we need to make to the therapy sessions. So kids can stay on track both in the home and in the classroom.Â
AssentâBased Care
Our Assent-Based Care model revolves around your childâs autonomy and neurodiversity. We call it assent-based because we garner agreement from the client every step of the way. Even if the child is non-verbal, IDS acknowledges your childâs preferences, sensory needs, and communication styles.Â
This approach helps build trust and create a partnership between your child and their therapist. We know that kids are more motivated when their therapy takes their choices into consideration. IDS is committed to celebrating neurodiversity to make sure your kid isnât asked to âfit inâ. Instead, we help them gain the tools they need on their own terms.Â
Why IDSâs Approach Works for Westminster Families
Consistency and Generalization
Our center-based sessions let kids learn in structured environments. Then, the kidâs therapist supports the family with in-home generalization to reinforce skills in the real world. This two-part strategy helps make sure that any gains your child makes wonât be confined to the clinic. Instead, they happen across the childâs natural routine.Â
Family Empowerment
Across all services, IDS gets parents involved with their childâs care by offering extensive training and hands-on sessions. We might guide a parent through early routines. And we may coach them during a home follow-up. In any event, parental involvement creates true continuity and sustainability.Â
School Collaboration
Through Comprehensive Programs, we collaborate with Westminster schools. IDS aligns goals and strategies within the childâs Individualized Education Plan (IEP). This coordinated approach will help your child move from therapy sessions to the home and to the school without interruption.Â
Respectful, Child-Centered Care
Assent-Based Care is what truly sets IDS apart. Instead of using force or insistence, IDS seeks agreement and respects your childâs agency. This approach fosters buy-in, rapport, and genuine engagement.Â
Our therapists at IDS receive specific training in assent-based techniques. This provides an uncommon depth of care, which underscores our commitment to celebrating neurodiversity and client dignity.Â
How IDS Therapy Services Flow
- Initial assessment: A BCBA therapist will evaluate your child in the office or via telehealth. This helps identify your childâs strengths and the areas we need to support.
- Service selection: Weâll look at your childâs age, needs, and goals, and then weâll recommend one of our three care paths.
- Session scheduling: Families are free to choose in-clinic days, in-home coordination, or blended options.
- Progress tracking: Weâll take data from every session and use it to inform our ongoing adjustments.
- Parental coaching: We encourage parentâtraining and skillâsharing because it builds confidence across settings.
