ABA therapy teaches children new skills, behaviors, and coping mechanisms through the power of positive reinforcement. Your child’s clinician will gather data on how your child is responding to each therapy method they try, and based on how they’re progressing, adjust their treatment to match. Through ABA therapy, your child can learn, grow, and develop in a way that works best for them. Your child will gain the much-needed tools to cope with the challenges of having autism and function in a world designed for the neurotypical.
ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) has proven to be the gold standard for children with ASD and developmental delays. ABA therapy is considered an evidence-based best-practice treatment by the US Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association.While there are no miracle cures for developmental delays, ABA therapy is the most frequently recommended option for ASD (autism spectrum disorder). It’s the recommended choice of The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), The National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. Surgeon General.

The children that begin ABA therapy before two make the most significant improvements and overcome developmental deficits.Children who begin ABA therapy as soon as they are diagnosed with ASD make much greater progress.
