what is Applied Behavior Analysis?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a type of therapy that focuses on improving specific behaviors, such as social skills, communication, adaptive learning skills, and self-help skills. ABA is effective for children and adults with psychological disorders in a variety of settings, including schools, workplaces, homes, and clinics. ABA has been endorsed by the United States Surgeon general as the leading, research-based methodology proven to bring about positive, meaningful behavioral change in individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Will a BCBA work directly with my Child?

A behavior technician, or line therapist, will work directly with your child, under the close supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The BCBA provides direct supervision and support to your child’s therapist on a weekly basis. The BCBA also analyzes data, reviews assessment results, updates treatment goals, and collaborates with your child’s school and other therapies.
