Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a form of therapy that is used to treat children impacted by autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other behavior disorders. This evidence-based method of treatment educates individuals with ASD in how to break down complex steps into more simple ones. It’s been scientifically proven to improve behaviors that many individuals with ASD and other disorders struggle with. These behaviors include communicating, waiting, making friends, asking for assistance, following directions and performing tasks.

The length of time that ABA therapy takes depends on the individual child receiving the services. Intensive ABA treatment services that last between one and three years have been shown to greatly improve skills in many different domains. Focused ABA services generally last between 10 and 25 hours and focus on teaching skills in just a few different domains.

ABA therapy has been shown to be most effective when it is performed in a home, school or community-based setting. This allows for behaviors to be addressed and skills to be taught while a child is going about his or her daily life, making it more likely that the skill will be learned and utilized when therapy is complete.

ABA therapy services will assist your child in improving his or her communication, social, adaptive living and behavioral skills. It will also assist in teaching your child how to function from day to day, as well as how to independently interact with his or her natural environment.
