ABA Services

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding and improving behavior. It's based on the principle that behavior is influenced by its consequences, and that by changing those consequences, we can change the behavior. ABA therapy is often used to help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) learn new skills and improve their behavior.

In-home ABA services are provided in the child's home environment. This can be a good option for young children or children who are not yet ready for a school or community setting. In-home ABA therapy can help develop skills such as:

  • Communication skills

  • Social skills

  • Self-care skills

  • Play skills

  • Behavior management

At-school ABA services are provided in the child's school setting. This can be a good option for children who are already attending school and need help with specific behaviors that are interfering with their learning. At-school ABA therapy can help children:

  • Improve their attention and focus

  • Reduce disruptive behaviors

  • Develop social skills

  • Complete academic tasks

Community ABA services are provided in a variety of community settings, such as parks, libraries, and stores. This can be a good option for individuals who are ready to generalize their skills to new environments. Community ABA therapy can help develop:

  • Develop social skills

  • Learn to follow rules

  • Practice communication skills

  • Increase independence

The best setting for ABA therapy will vary depending on the individual’s needs. Some may benefit from a combination of in-home, at-school, and community ABA services.
