ABA therapy
in Marrero?

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently have certain behaviors that are a challenge to improve or change. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based method of therapy that teaches these children how to turn complex sets of tasks into simpler ones by distilling each task into a smaller step to be completed. This type of therapy has been proven to help children learn how to make friends, communicate their needs, follow directions, finish tasks, wait and ask for help when they need it.

The most significant results occur when children undergo intensive ABA therapy for a period of one to three years. This type of therapy allows for the child to make significant gains across several different domains. Focused ABA therapy tends to focus on just a few different skill areas that are worked on for a limited period of time (usually between 10 and 25 hours).

Most practitioners of ABA therapy highly recommend that the services be provided within the child’s natural environment. That means that the home, school and community are the most effective places to do this therapy. This is because teaching skills and new behaviors within the natural environment makes it more likely that the treatment will be successful.

Children who have issues with communication, social interactions, behaviors and adaptive living skills are best suited for ABA therapeutic services. Every child receives a custom treatment plan that will address the skills most important to that child and his or her family.
