What is ABA?
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically validated approach that focused on understanding and improving behavior. It breaks down complex skills into smaller, manageable steps and uses techniques based on learning principles to teach these skills effectively.
ABA teaches children new skills, behaviors, and coping mechanisms through the power of positive reinforcement. Your child’s clinician will gather data on how your child is responding to treatment, and based on how they’re progressing, adjust their treatment to match. Through ABA, your child can learn, grow, and develop in a way that works best for them. Your child will gain the much-needed tools to cope with the challenges of having autism and function in a world designed for the neurotypical.
We serve individuals with a medical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder ages ranging from 18 months to 18 years.
