ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the most researched and empirically supported treatment for children and adolescents diagnosed with autism. ABA is a scientific, evidence-based practice that strives to understand and improve socially significant behaviors. ABA examines the interactions between people and their environment to determine the effects that an environment has on a person’s behavior. In clinical practice, ABA is used to teach new skills, improve performance in already acquired skills, and decrease unwanted and challenging behaviors.

While each child with autism has a unique set of strengths and challenges, ABA therapy at Autism Support Now CAN help in several ways including.

Increase language and communication skills
Improve attention, focus, social skills, and memory
Prevent problem behaviors. We identify triggers and functions of challenging behaviors and provide strategies to prevent them
Assisting in moving a child from nonverbal to verbal
Associating words with things or actions
Cognitive development

Teaching life skills
Developing independence
Curbing outbursts
