Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy (ABA) services can help children struggling with developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, autism and mental health concerns. We help you and your kids find their footing and get them on the path to living their lives to the fullest.
What is ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy is one of the leading autism therapies and can have a significantly positive impact on helping children develop a wide range of life skills. Our ABA therapists work closely with your child to provide them with the tools and skills they need by applying principles of behavior and learning.

Every one of our therapies is personalized, but ABA therapy specifically can focus on:
- Increasing communication, social relationships and positive behaviors
- Decreasing learning deficits and challenging behaviors
- Motor skills
- Language skills
- Academic skills
- Self-care (including toilet training)
What conditions does ABA therapy work best for?
ABA therapy is primarily used to treat Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but the strategies and tools provided through ABA can also be highly effective for people with Sensory Processing Disorder and other behavioral health disorders.
While individuals of all ages have shown positive behavioral changes, ABA therapy has been highly effective for children under four as an early intervention technique. Let us help you explore what might work best for your child.
How we approach ABA therapy.
Once it’s determined your child is a good fit for ABA therapy, they’re evaluated by one of our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA.) Our clinics focus on achieving individualized goals, tailored for your child. Each session is designed to track progress and adapt treatment plans as needed. We’ll start with a skills assessment, such as ABLLS-R or VB-Mapp. After the assessment, we’ll write a comprehensive plan that drives your child’s educational program. All of our BCBAs work closely and collaboratively with your family, school and other therapists to provide a comprehensive treatment approach that includes a range of effective strategies.

FAQs
Can my child attend school and ABA therapy at the same time?
Yes, many families do both, and ABA therapy serves as a great opportunity to practice the skills needed to be successful in school. We’ll work with you to build a schedule that supports your child’s school and therapy needs.
Can my child still get speech or OT services while they are receiving ABA therapy?
Yes, absolutely. Your child can benefit from multiple therapies at once – and we’ll coordinate across teams to make sure goals and care plans align.
Do you provide parent/caregiver guidance and support?
Yes – we believe families are key to successfully transitioning skills into the home and community. We offer individualized and ongoing support to help you reinforce skills at home and in the community, and which keeps you closely connected to your child’s progress.
How do I know if ABA is right for my child?
ABA therapy helps children build communication, social, and daily living skills. If your child has challenges in these areas, ABA may be a great fit. We’ll help you decide if it’s the right path.
What progress can I expect from ABA therapy?
Every child’s journey is different, and we celebrate all progress – big and small. You might notice your child communicating more, following routines, or handling frustration better. We track progress and share updates with you regularly.
