Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically-proven approach to understanding and changing behavior. Our certified behavior analysts use ABA principles to help children with autism develop communication skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and increase independence. ABA therapy is individualized, data-driven, and focuses on building positive behaviors while reducing barriers to learning and social interaction.

While ABA is most commonly used for autism, it can be effective for other developmental and behavioral challenges. We assess each child individually to determine if ABA is the right approach.
ABA can range from 10-40 hours per week depending on the child's needs and goals. We work with families to create a schedule that fits their situation while maximizing effectiveness.
Many children show improvements within the first few weeks, though significant progress typically becomes evident within 3-6 months of consistent therapy. Results vary based on individual factors.
Our team includes Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) and certified ABA therapists with extensive training and experience in autism intervention.
Yes, absolutely. ABA works well alongside speech therapy, occupational therapy, and other interventions. We coordinate with other providers to ensure a comprehensive approach.
