Our ABA therapy is individually customized to help children with autism spectrum disorder master important abilities while managing tricky behaviors. We understand some skills that come naturally to other kids may be challenging for those with ASD. ABA therapy carefully breaks down these competencies into manageable components so they can be more readily learned and applied in daily life.

Our ABA approach uses positive reinforcement and rewards to motivate children as they achieve targeted behavioral and developmental milestones. Goals are broken into step-by-step objectives so progress feels attainable. It’s similar to an exciting educational adventuretour filled with accomplishments!

Decades of scientific study have shown ABA therapy helps children with ASD master skills while managing problematic behaviors.

They work directly with children and parents across clinical, home, school, or other community settings. Through consistent evaluation and progress tracking, our team continually tailors the therapy approach to maximize skill building and development.

Detailed reporting on child progress is updated weekly and reviewed by the overseeing BCBA to ensure adherence to the treatment plan goals and consistency for each family.
