Where do you need
ABA therapy
in Meraux?

Certain difficult or harmful behaviors present in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult to address. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been scientifically proven to assist in improving or changing a child’s behaviors. This evidence-based technique teaches children how to take complicated tasks and break them down into smaller, more discrete steps so that the task may be successfully completed. This method has been utilized to teach children affected by ASD how to communicate needs, make friends, wait, follow directions, complete a task and ask for assistance.

If your child is in need of intensive ABA therapy, you can expect it to take at least one to three years. Children who undergo this therapy for this length of time typically see significant improvements within many different areas. If your child undergoes focused ABA therapy, it will most likely take 10 to 25 hours and focus on a few specific areas.

Most research conducted on ABA therapy indicates that it is best performed at home, in school or within a child’s community. This allows for skills to be taught within the environment that they are most likely to occur, setting the child up for successfully implementing the skills in his or her daily life.

If your child struggles with communication, social interactions, difficult behaviors and general living skills that negatively impact his or her daily life, ABA therapy will likely be successful in helping your child to function independently.
