Where do you need
ABA therapy
in Gonzales?

Used mostly with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is a therapeutic method backed by scientific evidence. It assists children negatively impacted by ASD in improving or changing behaviors. It educates patients in how to break down complicated tasks and skills into smaller ones that are more easily managed and completed. ABA therapy has successfully been used to teach autistic individuals how to wait, make friends, communicate their needs, ask for help, follow directions and complete many different types of tasks.

Since ABA therapy is a customized plan of treatment, the length of time your child will undergo it will depend on his or her needs. Research has shown us that children who receive intensive ABA therapy for between one and three years show significant improvements in several different skill areas. More focused programming that is delivered over a period of 10-25 hours targets fewer skill areas is also available.

The best place to perform this type of therapy is at home, in a child’s school or within the community. This allows for the child to successfully learn how to manage maladaptive behaviors in the places where those behaviors occur. It also allows for the child to learn how to use new skills in the environment where those skills are most needed.

This type of therapy can assist your child in developing his or her communication, behavioral, adaptive living and social skills. The skills your child will learn will be based on what you and your child determine to be the most important ones for his or her specific environment.
