Where do you need
ABA therapy
in Hercules?

ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It's a well-established therapy for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It uses reinforcement, such as the child's favorite treat, to encourage learning new skills. The therapy can teach a wide range of skills that your child can use at home, school or in the community.

Children may need up to 40 hours a week of therapy, but in reality, most children receive 10 to 30 hours a week. Most therapy programs last at least a year and up to three years or more. The duration of therapy will depend on your child's specific needs.

A therapist will come to your home and work with your child one-on-one. Your family goes about your everyday life. This allows the therapist to teach your child skills and behaviors that will help them at home. Parents and caregivers can make themselves available to learn how to reinforce the desired behaviors covered in each session, although this should occur after therapy ends for the day.

ABA can help your child thrive in the family environment or in the community. They will learn how to communicate and socialize. Therapy can minimize disruptive, anti-social behaviors. Your child can also learn how to do more things for himself, which usually makes the child feel proud of himself or herself and have more confidence in their abilities.
