Compassionate, Evidence-Based ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based practice rooted in the science of learning and motivation. This approach drives meaningful change by assessing, observing, designing, implementing, and evaluating environmental factors that influence behavior.
ABA therapy is highly effective in teaching essential developmental skills, including:
Language and communication
Daily living skills
Social interaction
Self-management
In addition to skill-building, ABA therapy is a proven method for understanding and reducing challenging behaviors by identifying the patterns and functions of behavior and implementing targeted interventions.
Our approach to ABA therapy doesn’t just focus on the individual—it involves the entire family. Caregivers, siblings, grandparents, and school staff are trained on ABA techniques to help generalize and maintain progress long after therapy sessions end.
