ABA Therapy

What is ABA Therapy?

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is a scientific and evidence-based approach that helps people with autism learn and develop skills to improve and manage their behaviors. While anyone of any age can benefit from ABA therapy, it’s an excellent early intervention approach for kids with autism. ABA therapy lets kids acquire skills they will use for the rest of their lives. Through ABA therapy, children with autism can learn to communicate and interact with others as they develop skills that help them become more independent. ABA therapy is an excellent solution when you want to help your child become more self-sufficient and prepared for the world.

Skills ABA Therapy Can Help Address

Children with autism will benefit from attending ABA therapy sessions because they will build and acquire skills to help them succeed. The skills ABA providers teach children with autism help them function at home, in school or while visiting other places like the grocery store or park.

Common skills your child can acquire while undergoing ABA therapy for autism include:

• Social
• Daily living
• Self-care
• Language
• Safety
• Academic
• Behavioral
• Self-management
• Stress management
• Play
• Attention
• Emotional development and understanding
• Interacting with other people
• Participating in activities

If necessary, your child’s ABA therapist can also teach your child ways to help them manage their aggression and self-injury tendencies. ABA providers want the best for your child, just like you do, so they ensure your child receives practical methods and compassionate care to help them develop new skills.
