ABA therapy 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 each therapy method they try, and based on how they’re progressing, adjust their treatment to match.

Through ABA therapy, 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.

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) has proven to be the gold standard for children with ASD and developmental delays. ABA therapy is considered an evidence-based best-practice treatment by the US Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association.

While there are no miracle cures for developmental delays, ABA therapy is the most frequently recommended option for ASD (autism spectrum disorder).

It’s the recommended choice of The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), The National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. Surgeon General. Most major insurance companies and state health agencies, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics all support ABA therapy.

Like most good things, the earlier, the better. Most parents and clinicians can identify autism in children before they reach 18 months of age. The children that begin ABA therapy before two make the most significant improvements and overcome developmental deficits. Children who begin ABA therapy as soon as they are diagnosed with ASD make much greater progress.

ABA therapy is a time-proven, research based, successful method that focuses on understanding and utilizing how behavior is influenced and developed. ABA therapy looks at the reason behind the actions of each child, and the circumstances under which they occur to teach appropriate ways of reaching the goal of each specific behavior. The goal of ABA therapy is to develop new skills, shape and refine previously learned behaviors, and decrease problem behaviors to help each child succeed.
