Where do you need
ABA therapy
in Santee?

Designed as a way to reduce behavioral issues in children, Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy is evidence-based and is designed to divide specific behaviors into the individual steps required to complete them. Each of these steps is then analyzed and treated as a separate task, which can be adjusted and learned by children with severe behavioral disorders stemming from autism spectrum conditions or other traumatic events. ABA therapists use positive reinforcement as their primary tool for adjusting behaviors and helping children to achieve their full potential.

The duration of ABA therapy generally depends on the amount of work to be done and the ability of the child to adjust his or her behaviors successfully. Some children can achieve solid results in 25 hours or less of ABA therapy. Others may require years of sessions to accomplish their objectives.

The methods used for ABA are positive and affirming. These sessions can be held in school, in your home or in a clinical setting. Your ABA therapist will work with you to determine the best and most convenient location for your child and your schedule.

Children on the autism spectrum are often good candidates for ABA. These therapeutic methods can help children take the small, comfortable steps necessary to learn to care for their own personal needs, to communicate their thoughts and feelings more appropriately and to avoid behaviors that could prove disruptive or difficult to manage at home or in a school setting.
