Program Overview
Core Principles & Outcomes of ABA Therapy
Understanding Learning & Behavior
Helping parents and therapists understand how behavior works, how it is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place.
Communication & Focus Enhancement
Increasing language, communication, attention span, social skills, and academic readiness while decreasing problem behavior.
Step-by-Step Task Breakdown
Teaching complex tasks by breaking them down into small, discrete instructional steps for step-by-step mastery.
Positive Reinforcement Strategy
Rewarding positive behaviors with meaningful rewards (praise, preferred toys, access to play) encouraging long-term skill adoption.
ABA vs. Play Therapy
While play therapy explores emotional difficulty through play, ABA teaches functional, specific skills leading to community independence.
Early Intervention (Ages 2-6)
Accepted by NIMH as an effective treatment; starting between ages 2 and 6 maximizes long-term neurodevelopmental gains.
