ABA therapy
in Kenner?

A number of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have made significant improvements or changes in specific behaviors common in those with the disorder through the utilization of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This is an evidence-based type of therapy that teaches children with ASD how to break down complicated tasks into simpler, more manageable steps. Children who have undergone this type of therapy have shown significant improvements in communicating their needs, waiting, making friends, asking for help, following directions and finishing tasks.

Since this kind of therapy is individualized, it can be difficult to say how long an individual needs to receive services for. Intensive ABA therapy services provided over a period of one to three years have been scientifically proven to help patients make significant gains across multiple skill areas. Focused ABA therapy services offered for 10-25 hours assist patients in developing just a few specifically targeted skills.

ABA therapy services are best provided within a patient’s home, school or community. This allows for behaviors to be addressed as they occur and for skills to be both learned and applied within a natural environment.

This therapeutic method best helps children who have difficulties functioning within their natural environments due to a lack of skills in areas such as social, behaviors, communication and adaptive living. Patients are given customized treatment plans that will assist them in developing skills in the areas most needed for them to succeed in their daily lives.
