Our Impact
ABA Therapy
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. This science looks at what is happening before and after specific behaviors occur, as well as potential environmental factors involved.
We focus on the needs of the family and its fundamental role in the success of our individualized behavioral and educational programs.

How We Can Support You
We serve clients in a variety of settings, as determined through consultation with caregivers and other professionals. Services can be provided in one setting consistently, or across multiple settings based on the needs of clients and their families.
Our ABA consultants and technicians receive comprehensive training in behavioral theory, reinforcement, the application of discrete trial training, the nuances of prompting and fading prompts, behavior management, generalization, maintenance of acquired skills, and interactive play with peer groups and social development. In addition, continuous refresher training courses and research on new techniques are provided to maintain high standards of quality of services.

Learning activities are selected based upon the needs, interests, and developmental levels of individual children within the classroom.
