The Spectra Approach

Spectra Behavioral Health is a local Omaha clinic that specializes in providing quality, clinic-based ABA therapy services.

What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) utilizes the principles of learning and behavior to increase skills to improve an individual’s quality of life. By uniting parents, caregivers, and individuals, ABA therapy utilizes the functions of behavior, data, and reinforcement to systematically teach a variety of skills.

Individualized teaching

  • Your child is more than just a name on our client list- they are unique and they are deserving of support that is tailored to them. At Spectra, we take the time to learn about each of our clients and we adapt our approach to fit their preferred learning style and developmental expectations. There is no “one-size fits all” curriculum at Spectra- we take time to develop goals that will be attainable and beneficial for the child. Our team uses evidence-based teaching strategies and we strive to provide a natural learning environment that will set each child up for success in their everyday lives.

How does Spectra do ABA differently?

Family-focused support

  • At Spectra, we know how important family life is and we understand that our teaching approach needs to fit both the child as well as their family. We value caregiver participation and are dedicated to training parents to implement teaching strategies in the home. When you start services at Spectra, you can also expect ongoing, open communication about your child’s progress in clinic. We find that the best client outcomes often happen when families and therapists work as a team.

Transition-minded care

  • We understand that ABA therapy is only one small piece of your child’s life so we strive for our services to help set each child up for success outside of our clinic walls. At Spectra, you won’t find an age cut-off and we believe that transition and discharge timelines should be determined by each client’s progress and success with the level of care we provide. To do this, we are constantly evaluating the efficiency of our therapy approaches and collaborating with other professionals to ensure a well-rounded treatment approach.

Adapted, evolving approach

  • Your child’s world is continually changing, so why should their therapy experience be any different? Spectra’s approach to therapy is constantly evolving to adapt to our clients’ ever-changing needs. We strive to grow our clinical skills, maintaining ethical standards of practice, and keep up with new treatment innovations within our field while maintaining our core values.
