What Is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding behavior and helping individuals develop meaningful skills that improve their everyday lives. ABA therapy is commonly used to support children with autism and other developmental disabilities by strengthening communication, social interaction, independence, and daily living skills.

Through individualized, one-on-one sessions, Behavior Technicians use positive reinforcement, structured teaching, and play-based learning to help children build new skills and navigate everyday challenges. Treatment is tailored to each child's unique strengths, needs, and developmental goals.
