WHAT IS EXTINCTION?

In ABA, extinction is one of the most powerful tools we have for reducing specific behaviors, but it requires a lot of patience and consistency. It works by completely removing the reinforcement that keeps an unwanted behavior going, similar to how you eventually stop pressing the button on a broken vending machine when the snacks stop dropping. 😅

The most important part of this process is weathering the extinction burst, which is the temporary spike where the behavior gets worse right before it disappears. By understanding this natural reaction and staying consistent, we can successfully phase out the unwanted behavior and clear a path to teach more functional, positive communication skills in its place. ✨

Play IS the work. 🧸🎨

If you see us covered in bubbles, kinetic sand, or play-doh, just know: that's where the MAGIC happens!

We aren't just having fun; we are using every game, toy, and "messy" moment to find hidden learning opportunities. Whether it’s practicing how to ask for a turn, following a multi-step game, or building new words, play is the best way to make skills stick.

When kids are engaged and having a blast, the learning feels effortless. ✨

At MBC, we believe that clarity is the foundation of confidence. A visual schedule is more than just a list of tasks, it is a tool that honors our kiddo's autonomy by providing a clear, predictable roadmap for their day!

Here is how to integrate a visual rhythm into a daily routine in a way that feels supportive and empowering:

✨ Establish a Clear Sequence: Use a "First/Then" format to help visualize the flow of the day. Seeing that a preferred activity follows a required task provides the reassurance needed to move forward with confidence.

✨ Encourage Active Participation: When our kiddos physically moves an icon to the "All Done" column, it creates a moment of accomplishment. This simple action reinforces and provides a clear mental close to the activity.

✨ Build Resilience Through Flexibility: Life is naturally unpredictable. By including a "Change" icon, you can communicate shifts in the plan visually. This helps navigate the unexpected in a way that feels secure rather than overwhelming.

By prioritizing predictability, we create an environment where everyone feels respected and prepared for what’s next. 🤍
