Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is a scientific-based evidence approach that examines an individual’s interactions and responses within their environment and seeks to develop new skills and replace undesirable behaviors.
Using researched-based interventions, behavior therapists provide helpful alternatives to reduce undesirable behaviors, enhance social interactions, increase communication, and improve the life skills of individuals with Autism.
Individualized ABA therapy in the comfort of your home helps your child master new skills in a familiar and natural environment.
For children that spend most of their time in the home, home-based therapy can enhance the overall family dynamics and provide a great foundation for your child’s development.
