What is ABA?
A simple guide for families exploring Applied Behavior Analysis.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy approach that helps children learn new skills and reduce behaviors that get in the way of daily life. It is based on decades of research and is widely recognized as an effective treatment for autism spectrum disorder.
At its heart, ABA is about understanding how learning happens. We look at what happens before and after a behavior, then use positive reinforcement — praise, play, preferred activities, and other natural rewards — to encourage helpful, meaningful skills.
What ABA can help with
- Communication and language
- Social and play skills
- Toileting and self-care
- School readiness
- Following routines and transitions
- Reducing challenging behaviors
Individualized
Every plan is tailored to your child's strengths and your family goals.
Positive
We use encouragement and play to make learning motivating and fun.
Evidence-Based
ABA is backed by research and continuously adjusted based on progress.
What to expect from in-home ABA
A trained therapist comes to your home for sessions based on your family's schedule. Therapy is woven into your child's natural routines — play, meals, getting dressed, and family time — so skills are learned where they matter most.
