What is ABA therapy?
ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) therapy is an evidence-based technique for teaching children with Autism Spectrum Disorder desired behaviors. The program uses rewards to reinforce positive actions. A therapist will teach a child a new skill by breaking it down into small steps. With each step successfully completed, the child gets a small reward until they learn to master the entire task.

Treatment is usually intense, from 10 to 40 hours every week. Most children receive therapy for between one and three years. The timeline is different for every child and it depends on the child's skills, goals and progress. Even when therapy ends, parents can use what they have learned to continue reinforcing positive actions.

Since early intervention is important, ABA therapy often takes place at home. The therapist can work on skills your child needs to master at home, such as getting dressed each morning. You can also find ABA therapy at clinics, which can help your child get used to going somewhere to learn. Many schools also offer ABA therapy.
