Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidenced-based and scientific approach to shaping behavior and developing pivotal skills. It helps us understand learning, behavior and how various environments influence people’s behavior. ABA therapy is widely accepted as an effective treatment that is supported by long term research demonstrating success for individuals diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disorders.
ABA therapy programs help increase an individual’s adaptive behaviors including language, communication, self-care, and social skills. It also helps to decrease problematic behaviors that affect learning and social integration or are harmful to the individual or others.
