Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is, most simply, the science of behavior. At its core, behavior analysis involves observing an undesirable behavior, and working, through empirical methods, to change it in a positive manner.
The “applied” component refers to how behavior analysis is used to change behaviors for individuals with developmental disabilities, including autism, through proven methods and interventions.
Behavior Analysis is a therapy discipline that utilizes the scientific method to help understand and improve behavior. Through positive reinforcement, and evidence-based techniques, our ABA Therapy program can benefit children with Autism and other related disorders.
Usually, most of our services are provided in your home where your child plays, learns and interacts with family. Programs are play-based and routine-based since that’s how kids learn. It may sometimes appear our therapist is playing with your child, but in fact, the therapist is hard at work! Our staff is trained consistently embedding learning opportunities throughout motivating play activities. In the same way, learning opportunities are embedded in routines; while making a snack, or while practicing toothbrushing.
Depending on the needs of your family, treatment plans can include the following areas:
Social Skills
Communication
Leisure Activities
Daily Living
Self Care
