ABA therapy is a very popular treatment to help children with autism learn the skills they need to become more independent and succeed in school and in life. It also helps reduce problematic behaviors. All therapy is individualized to the child’s needs and the family’s preferences.

Rewards can range from a small toy or letting them select a video to watch to praise or something that engages that particular child. It has been proven by numerous studies that through ABA therapy a child will learn to perform the task autonomously in time.
