ABA has many well-documented benefits for your child including increased confidence, the development of new skills, and decrease undesirable behaviors. It is a constantly evolving field, where new strategies and techniques are always emerging. ABA doesn’t just benefit your child – by understanding ABA practices, you can play a more active role in their development by reinforcing new skills and having a range of tools to address challenging situations.
ABA therapy uses reinforcement to help increase desired behaviors, like using the restroom and, decrease undesirable behaviors, like hitting or biting. Most importantly, it is safe, ethical, and done in collaboration with you and your family so changes can move seamlessly from our office to your home. ABA therapy is based on your child’s needs and your input. We work with you to determine which behaviors should be addressed and how best to work on them. Some of the areas we can help your child with include:
- Adaptive behavioral skills
- Cooperation
- Communication/language
- Fine and gross motor skills
