What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach to understanding and improving behaviors that are essential for learning and everyday living. It focuses on the principles of behavior and how they can be applied to help individuals achieve meaningful goals. ABA therapy is widely recognized as an effective intervention for children diagnosed with autism, offering personalized strategies that empower them to build critical skills and overcome challenges.
How ABA Works?
ABA therapy starts with understanding your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals. Through assessments and observations, our therapists develop individualized plans tailored to your child’s needs. The therapy involves breaking skills into manageable steps, providing positive reinforcement to encourage success, and systematically teaching new skills. Progress is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to ensure your child is meeting their goals.
