ABA Therapy

For children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, daily activities and interactions can be challenging, and in many different ways. Our registered behavior technicians (RBTs) work one-on-one with clients, implementing a personalized behavior plan that utilizes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy. ABA is based on the principles of how children learn combined with natural-environment settings and actions, helping clients reach their goals.  Our therapists utilize treatment plans developed by a BCBA (Board-Certified Behavior Analyst) that incorporate client goals, needs, and interventions.  ABA is an in-depth therapy that necessitates adherence to a regular weekly schedule.
