ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is a highly effective approach to enhancing socially significant behaviors and limiting behaviors that interfere with learning. In multiple studies, ABA therapy has been shown to significantly improve children’s cognitive and language skills, as well as adaptive behaviors. Through frequent data analysis and environmental interventions, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and staff therapists work with you and your child to increase independence and success through programming that caters to your child’s needs.

Though autism is considered to be life long, with ABA Therapy, some children make so much progress that they lose the core symptoms and no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for autism. This is called “optimal outcome”, and research is showing that high quality, early intervention using ABA Therapy is key.
