How ABA Therapy Works

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children build critical life skills by breaking them down into small, achievable steps. Children learn through:

  • Structured lessons to practice new skills
  • Natural play to encourage communication and interaction
  • Positive reinforcement to build confidence and motivation

Whether your family’s goals include improving language skills, building friendships, increasing independence, or reducing problem behaviors, ABA targets progress that matters most to your child’s daily life.
