Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy

Research suggests ABA is an effective way to increase communication, socialization, and independent learning skills, as well as decrease unsafe behavior. Our ABA therapy services begin with a thorough assessment of communication and social skills, as well as identification of any unsafe, interfering behaviors, before an individualized program plan is developed. The assessment is conducted by one of our Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analysts, supported by our Registered Behavior Technicians as appropriate.

We provide direct, one-on-one instruction several hours per week utilizing the principles of learning and behavior to affect positive and beneficial behavior change. Successful ABA therapy requires a team commitment, with an individual’s plan often involving anywhere from 5 to 30 hours of direct therapy per week. Direct therapy is supplemented with caregiver education and training on the individual’s program plan, which is provided by one of our Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analysts.

• Services are offered at our on-site clinic, in-home, and/or in school (see our Behavioral-based School Consultation services section) with multiple practitioners available to offer various session options. Location of services is determined during the assessment process based on the level of therapy support that will best meet the needs of each individual.
• Assessment of skills across various domains, such as communication, imitation, and social skills.
