Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science-based therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and changing behavior to improve a person’s life and wellbeing. ABA therapy is individualized to meet the unique needs of each person and involves a comprehensive assessment by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to develop a personalized treatment plan. The therapy sessions utilize evidence-based teaching approaches such as setting small goals, modifying environments, reinforcement, and prompting. Throughout the process, therapists collect data to track progress and celebrate achievements with clients and their families.
