Applied Behavior
Analysis (ABA) Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the application of the principles of behavior to bring about meaningful and positive changes in behavior.
We work with parents and clients to find out the cause of certain behaviors, and agree on appropriate replacement behaviors. New behaviors will be introduced,
and skills will be taught to increase your child’s independence and skill level.
This field is backed by evidence-based research and driven by data. Many decades of research have validated treatments based on ABA, and it is widely accepted to
be the most effective, evidence-based therapeutic approach used for the treatment of autism. This structured teaching of functional skills has the largest body of
published research supporting its efficacy.
