ABA therapy, which stands for Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, is an evidence-based approach used to improve socially significant behaviors. It is commonly utilized for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) but can also be effective for other developmental disabilities and behavioral challenges.
ABA therapy involves the application of behavioral principles to analyze and modify behavior. It focuses on identifying the environmental factors that influence behavior and uses techniques such as positive reinforcement, prompting, shaping, and fading to teach new skills and reduce problem behaviors.
ABA therapy can be implemented in various settings, including homes, schools, clinics, and community settings. It aims to improve communication, social skills, daily living skills, and academic performance while reducing challenging behaviors.
If you are seeking ABA therapy for yourself or someone you know, it is recommended to consult with a licensed professional or seek guidance from reputable organizations like ours with analysts certified under the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).

AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention.
ADHD and Combined Type ADHD
ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active.
Developmental Disorders of Motor Functions
These disorders are diagnosed when motor skills problems significantly interfere with academic achievement or activities of daily living. It is frequently overlooked in children with ADHD due to its nonspecific cluster of symptoms—yet it can affect children’s lives by interfering with writing and other academic activities or preventing children from participating at their classmates’ level in sports and play.
Speech and Language Disorders
Some children struggle with understanding and speaking and they need help. They may not master the language milestones at the same time as other children, and it may be a sign of a language or speech delay or disorder.
Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders are syndromes characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotional regulation, or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental processes that underlie mental and behavioral functioning. These disturbances are usually associated with distress or impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
