Pairing Yourself: The Most Important First Step in ABA
Therapist, drop the laptop/tablet for a minute and listen:
The most powerful thing you’ll ever do in a session happens before you ask for anything at all.
It’s the moment you become their favorite part of the day.
No demands. No data. Just pure, unhurried joy.
Follow their lead, light up at their laughter, and watch trust grow like magic.
When you pair with your whole heart, motivation doesn’t need to be chased;
it runs straight to you with open arms and shining eyes.
This is the work. This is the win.
Never skip the part where you become their safe place. ✨
