ABA therapy uses the science and principles of behavior to improve a variety of skill deficits and build adaptive behaviors needed to establish the greatest independence throughout the lifespan. Additionally, ABA is a proven and effective approach to help reduce challenging behaviors that may become roadblocks in behavioral, educational, and social development.

ABA therapists play a pivotal role, working closely with individuals to identify specific target behaviors and develop strategies to promote positive behavior while reducing unwanted behaviors. These services often include creating individualized treatment plans, conducting various assessments, implementing behavior modification techniques, and tracking progress.

ABA services are comprehensive, aiming to improve various areas of functioning, including communication, social skills, self-help skills, academic skills, and more. They focus on breaking down complex skills into smaller, achievable steps and provide consistent feedback and reinforcement to help individuals acquire new skills and behaviors.

Depending on the individual's needs, these services can be provided in different settings, such as clinics, schools, or homes. The therapy sessions are typically structured and individualized, with therapists often working one-on-one with the individual to deliver targeted interventions and support their unique goals.
