Starting ABA Therapy: What to Know 

What is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based therapy used to help children—especially those with autism—build skills, improve communication, and reduce challenging behaviors.

Key Features of ABA Therapy:

  • Evidence-Based Interventions

    • We use only proven, research-backed strategies.​

  • Focus on Executive Functioning & Self-Regulation

    • Supports skills like self-control, flexibility, and focus.​

  • Real-Life Learning Environments

    • Therapy may take place in our center, home, school, or community settings.​

  • Individualized, One-on-One Support​

    • Daily sessions target goals like communication and adaptive skills with a dedicated therapist.​

  • Consistency Matters

    • A regular schedule is essential for progress.

Wondering if ABA therapy is right for your child?

If the following statements apply, our services may be a great fit for your family:

  • My child has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or another developmental delay/disability. 

  • My child demonstrates behaviors that interfere with learning, communication, or daily living.

  • I want to increase my child’s skills in areas such as communication, play, socialization, or independence.

  • My child is between the ages of 2 and 6.

  • I can commit to a consistent weekly schedule (most ABA programs range from 10–40 hours/week based on need).

  • I have a quiet, distraction-free area for therapy if it’s conducted at home.

  • I am interested in creating an individualized treatment plan tailored to my child’s needs.

  • I am looking for services delivered by trained professionals (e.g., BCBA, RBT).
