What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis
ABA refers to Applied Behavior Analysis. ABA is an evidence based science that focuses on behaviors of social significance. Many studies have empirically demonstrated that ABA has improved outcomes for children with autism in communication, social skills, and daily living skills.
ABA Therapy
ABA therapy uses the principles of applied behavior analysis. It can increase communication skills, social skills, life skills, and decrease challenging behaviors. ABA therapy is individualized for each client focusing on their specific goals.
