How are therapy sessions structured?
Most ABA sessions can run anywhere from 1.5 to 3.0 hours, depending on age, ability and stage of program. A session of this length may seem like a long time for a young child to concentrate. However, there are many small play breaks. Typically, a very young child is only working with a therapist for 1-5 minutes at a time; and is then free to have a play break whilst the therapist records his/her data and prepared for the next task. About once every hour the child is given a much longer break.
