Does your child have trouble interacting with other people? Have difficulty making eye contact? Issues with language development? Engage in long or intense episodes of crying or tantrums? If you’re the parent of a child with autism, you know very well how much these behaviors can affect their life. You may want to consider applied behavior analysis (ABA).

Applied behavior analysis, or ABA therapy, is a type of behavioral therapy for people with autism and other developmental disorders. It’s based on the idea that if you reward certain behaviors then children will repeat those behaviors. In other words, when you reinforce specific behaviors, those behaviors will increase. When you don’t reinforce certain behaviors, those behaviors will decrease and may eventually go away altogether. ABA may help people with autism:

• Improve social interactions.

• Learn new skills.

• Increase positive behaviors.

• Lessen challenging behavior.

Studies show that ABA significantly affects socialization, communication and expressive language. Some studies have shown that when ABA therapy was used for more than 20 hours a week during the first few years of life (before age 4), it produced large gains in development and even reduced the need for special services later in life.

We work with children and adolescents with:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• ADHD

• Speech & Language Delays

• Sensory Processing Challenges

• Behavioral Concerns

In-home ABA therapy involves a certified therapist coming to a child's home to provide one-on-one behavioral therapy sessions, utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques to teach new skills and behaviors in a familiar environment, often focusing on daily living activities and incorporating family members to support progress beyond therapy sessions; essentially, it means a personalized treatment plan delivered within the comfort of the child's home to address specific needs and promote skill development.
