What is ABA therapy for Autism?

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence-based method that can be helpful for children with autism. There are times when children on the autism spectrum interact differently with their environment than other children, which can cause them to face challenges daily.

The benefits of ABA therapy include:

  • Behavior Management: Teaches children effective ways to manage and regulate their behaviors in various life situations.
  • Understanding of Appropriate Behavior: Helps children distinguish between appropriate and less desirable behaviors, promoting better decision-making.
  • Skill Development: Aids in acquiring crucial skills like communication and socialization, enhancing daily life interactions.
  • Easier Adjustment: Provides strategies that assist children in adapting more comfortably to their surroundings and everyday challenges.

Benefits of ABA Therapy

Children in ABA therapy and their parents can benefit from the strategies and skills taught during therapy sessions. What your child learns will help them become more confident and independent, letting them enjoy new experiences and gain opportunities as they grow up.

Advantages of ABA therapy for children with autism and their families include:

One of ABA’s focus areas is an emphasis on social skills. We’re talking about those crucial abilities your child needs, whether they’re at home, in school, or out in the community.

ABA provides opportunities for children with autism to manage their behaviors, including self-injury or aggression. In therapy, your child will learn how to handle situations that upset them so that they cope in a healthier way when they’re overwhelmed.

Your child will also learn key developmental skills in ABA therapy to improve their lifestyle. In addition to social and communication skills, ABA can teach foundational skills, helping kids with autism gain more independence. They can learn to perform daily tasks like using the bathroom independently, brushing their teeth, and getting ready for school.

Our ABA centers near you provide a safe and supportive environment for your child to participate in ABA therapy sessions. Our professionals ensure your child is comfortable while learning and practicing new skills.

In addition to supporting your child, we provide you with essential resources to help you reinforce what your child learns during their therapy sessions. It’s a collaborative effort that empowers both you and your child for ongoing growth and adaptation. ABA therapy for autism will help your children acquire the skills they need to succeed in the future.

ABA Therapy Principles

ABA therapy derives from the principles of behavior. These principles help children with autism make sense of behaviors and how they should respond depending on what’s happening around them. The four behavior principles include:

  • Your surroundings matter: The places and people around you can influence how you behave.
  • Actions have consequences: What happens after a behavior can encourage or discourage it from happening again.
  • Positivity wins: Positive reinforcement and rewards are more effective at changing behaviors.
  • Consistency is key: Behaviors must be encouraged or discouraged regularly to see real change.

At Behavioral Innovations, our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists utilize these important behavioral principles to identify your child’s unique strengths and challenges and create an ABA treatment plan for their specific needs.

My little one is receiving her therapy at the Friendswood location. Within the first week we saw significant improvements. We are a couple months in and my kiddo is communicating so much better than when she first started. I have to say every single therapist and staff member are simply amazing. They are kind, patient, and really do care for the kiddos in their care. I’m beyond excited to have found BI.

A year ago, I shared my opinion about BI, saying how great this place is for our children. And it truly is. My child loves coming here every day, and I’m happy to have found a place like BI for him. I’ve also seen a huge change in my child. I’m grateful to the entire BI staff at Keller for the tremendous support, patience, and teaching they’ve given my child. Everyone here is very kind and respectful, and the best part is that they treat our children who come to this center with love. I highly recommend it; you won’t regret it.
