What is ABA Therapy
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence based therapy for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental challenges that is designed to improve communication, behavior, social skills, and learning. ABA focuses on understanding behavior, teaching new skills, and reducing behaviors that interfere with learning or daily living.
