Our Approach
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to addressing behavior excesses and deficits in a variety of contexts and populations. ABA specifically is one of the most effective treatment choice for children who have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. However, ABA does not stop there…ABA has also been effective in teaching new skills and decreasing challenging behaviors with children who have other diagnoses (e.g., Down Syndrome, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), have acquired a traumatic brain injury, have feeding and sleep difficulties, just to name a few.
ABA principles require the systematic assessment and intervention to make socially significant changes in behavior and skills for an individual.
