ABA is the design, implementation, and evaluation of environmental modifications to produce socially significant improvement in human behavior. ABA includes the use of direct observation, measurement, and functional analysis of the relations between environment and behavior. ABA uses changes in environmental events, including antecedent stimuli and consequences, to produce practical and significant changes in behavior.

Early Intensive intervention is Key! Clinical research has demonstrated that children who start ABA therapy as early as possible raise the most significant improvements in their areas of deficit. Children who received early intensive ABA therapy progressed to being self-sufficient in distinct areas.

Behavior analysis is a natural science whose subject matter is individual behavior interacting dynamically with the physical and social environment. All aspects of ABA interventions must be customized to the strengths, needs, preferences, and environmental circumstances of each individual client and their caregivers and must be flexible to accommodate changes that occur over the course of treatment. Individualized treatment is a defining feature and integral component of ABA, which is one reason why it has been so successful in treating Autism Spectrum Disorder. Treatment for some clients may be focused while others may be comprehensive to treat the multiple affected developmental domains, such as cognitive, communicative, social, emotional, and adaptive functioning as well as maladaptive behaviors. We use standardize behavior assessments such as Vineland and BASC-3.

The recommended hours for this type of therapy generally fall between 15 to 30 hours per week depending on the medical necessity of your child. The number of recommended hours for your child will be determined by our clinical team after your child’s assessment when the treatment plan is developed.
