Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the use of specialized techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive change in a child’s learning and behavior and is recognized as an effective evidence based behavioral health treatment for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

  • Focuses on the idea that the consequences of what we do affects what we learn and what we will do in the future.
  • Seeks to improve specific behaviors while demonstrating a reliable relationship between the procedures used and the change in the child’s behavior.

  • Gain understanding why challenging moments are occurring and address reasons head on.
  • Offers parenting support, education and training
  • Aid in regulating emotions, increasing self-control and creating a healthy life balance for the family unit.
