ABA therapy
in Davie?

ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It is used to help children with autism learn desirable skills and behaviors. ABA uses rewards to encourage them to master each step of a complex task. This evidence-based approach can also help reduce or eliminate problematic behaviors. Your child will learn more appropriate behaviors to help them get what they need or want, which will reduce your child’s frustration. Children can learn how to communicate better, manage their daily hygiene, and perform skills that can help them do better in school. Therapists tailor their approach to meet each child’s unique needs.

The hours of weekly therapy needed will vary from child to child depending on their unique needs. If you take a focused approach, your child may complete anywhere from 10-30 hours of therapy in total. In other circumstances, ABA therapy can last for one to three years. A long-term timeframe has proven to be the most effective.

Your child's ABA therapy can take place at home, at your child's school, or in your community. The most appropriate setting depends on the skills you would like your child to master. For example. if your child has difficulty getting ready in the morning. A therapist can show him or her how to brush their teeth in their own bathroom with their own toothbrush.

ABA gives children with autism the tools they need to have more independence and acquire life skills. They can also learn how to make friends with new communication skills, increasing their quality of life. Therapy will also help you as a parent learn how to maintain their progress and learn new skills in the future.
