Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic approach that has been shown to improve socially significant behaviors in all areas of development for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other behavioral challenges, including communication, social emotional adjustment, adaptive behaviors, fine motor skills, and cognition. ABA therapy is the only clinically proven therapy for children with autism and endorsed by Autism Speaks, American Academy of Pediatrics, Autism Society of America and many others.
Services are provided to families and their children diagnosed with Autism anywhere from 16 months to 21 years of age. The entire family benefits from our services.
While receiving ABA therapy, your child will work with highly trained specialists that can assist in teaching your child how to master daily living skills (e.g, dressing, hygiene, bathing, toileting, feeding), develop expressive and receptive language skills, play and leisure skills, and social skills. ABA therapy can also be utilized to assist in reducing maladaptive behaviors, such as self-injury, physical aggression, elopement, property destruction, etc. and work towards teaching replacement skills to utilize instead. The ultimate goal for ABA therapy is to help create a functional and meaningful life for your child.
