Applied Behavior Analysis ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is used to teach skills to children who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  ABA Therapy begins with the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) creating an individualized behavior intervention plan based upon the information provided during the parent intake interview as well as observations and skills assessed during a scheduled assessment. Our BCBAs continuously monitor and modify the child’s treatment plan to optimize growth.

Individualized plans are centered around your child’s needs and family needs and tailored specifically for your child, however below are a list of commonly targeted areas:

• Imitation
• Social Skills
• Communication Skills
• Self-Help Skills
• School Readiness
• Behavior Reduction
• Toilet Training
• Basic Living Skills

We believe it’s important to have consistency across therapy goals and doing so, our BCBAs regularly communicate with each child’s therapy team members, including (but not limited to): 

• Parents and/or other caregivers
• Speech Therapist
• Occupational Therapist
• Physical Therapist
• Social Workers
• Teachers

Therapy is offered in our center as well as daycares and other community areas  to generalize skills and maximum opportunities to teach age appropriate skills. Our goal is to give your child all the tools to feel comfortable in their community, school, and home. We pride ourselves on using play-based, naturalistic strategies to teach children and create positive therapeutic relationships.
