What is ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach that helps children learn important life skills and reduce behaviors that may interfere with learning, safety, or daily life. ABA focuses on understanding why behaviors happen and teaching meaningful skills in a supportive, positive way.

Rather than trying to change who a child is, ABA helps children build independence, communication, confidence, and success in everyday environments like home, school, and the community.

How ABA Helps Children

ABA therapy can support children in learning skills such as:

Communication and language

Social interaction and play skills

Daily living skills (following routines, dressing, toileting, etc.)

Emotional regulation and coping skills

Safety awareness

School readiness and learning skills

At the same time, ABA helps reduce behaviors that may be unsafe or make participation in daily activities difficult.

How ABA Works

ABA therapy breaks skills down into small, manageable steps and teaches them through:

Positive reinforcement (celebrating successes!)

Practice through play and everyday activities

Individualized teaching strategies

Consistent support across environments

Every child’s program is personalized based on their strengths, needs, and family goals.

Family-Centered Approach

Parents and caregivers are an essential part of ABA. We work closely with families to:

Set meaningful goals

Teach strategies that can be used at home

Support progress across all areas of life

Our goal is to help children thrive — not just in therapy sessions, but in real-life situations that matter most to your family.
